I have had Veterans Honor growing in my garden for 3years now, this rose is one of the first i planted in my garden of 88. I purchased this as a J&P rose from Lowels. We have had our problems, i must say, i luv the color and form and scent of the veteran but, iam concern with its growing habit, my rose only grows on new wood, for the first 2years i just let it grow, it only gave up a few blooms,then just stopped blooming. Last season, it was prunned and it gave up many blooms, later in the season again, it stopped blooming until i prunned it again. So for this reason this growing season 2011, i have ordered a replacement rose (Black Magic) an i will be shoveling the Veteran this march,(with a heavy heart). I wanted to get a new one and try it again but iam just to afraid the same thing will happen. With limited space in my garden i must choose wisely. Has anyone else had this problem with the Veterans Honor?
