Date Planted: June 2001 This rose has not proven as vigorous out of the gate as some of the others, but it was a smaller plant to start with. It is growing and blooming well, but I will need to keep an eye on it this winter. The 3" blooms are a bright fushia purple and quite fragrant. The plant itself does not have the typical China growth; it is a bit stouter, less airy, with somewhat heavier wood. This rose is going to need some time to develop it's potential. CROAKED 2002 |
