'Honorine Brabant' rose Reviews & Comments
-
-
I came across my Honorine at our local Home Depot. It had many blooms at the time (May, 2005) but has yet to re-bloom. However, it has grown very large over the past 2 1/2 months-the newest basal is now 7' tall! It was planted next to a lattice fence-thankfully-so it is now being treated as a climber and I've woven it in beside my Coral Dawn (which my Honorine is starting to dwarf). Very impressed with disease resistance thus far-no sign of blackspot yet (Coral Dawn keeps it). Only a bit of PM. It is by far the best leafed rose bush in my garden. I highly recommend this rose.--A 2007 update--Honorine has shown signs of blackspot in my garden, as well as RMV, and was moved from that location to another, where it has failed to thrive. I hard pruned it before transplanting, so that may also account for its lack of growth. It has bloomed since then, but sparsely. Honorine was regretfully shovel pruned this summer. Despite her problems, she was a lovely rose.
