This is my first year with Bees Knees but so far I am very impressed. I have one plant budded on fortuniana which quickly grew into a husky bush and has thrown scads of blooms all Summer and is now gearing up for Fall. Plus I have (3) plants that are own-root and are now growing quickly and looking to duplicate the budded plant. The blooms are HUGE for a mini--I can't believe it is not classed as a miniflora--3" to 31/2" easily. And the colors: Brilliant yellow edged in a hot pink--the bloom slowly ageing to all red-pink. The blooms last forever on the bush. Fabulous to cut. You have to have this rose--you won't regret it.
