'Ballerina' rose Reviews & Comments

|
This rose is spectacular for about two weeks in the spring--but apparently it does not like a hot climate. Mine is 5 or 6 years old, and the only rebloom I get is sparse with not much more in the fall. I wish she would bloom more, but I guess it is too hot for her to be happy. Does anyone grow her in the heat--and can tell me what I might do to make her bloom more after the spring flush? I notice that Ballerina is almost never offered in my neck of the woods, so maybe the professionals know something that I didn't.

A classic that deserves a little something to grow on. The susceptibility to blackspot must be regional. Here, it's not much. Cute little red hips.

I love this plant! I have 4 in my garden. I do absolutely nothing to them except deadhead and they bloom profusely from spring until frost! I have had 2 for about 4 years and they will grow like climbers if you let them. They are hiding an ugly black wrought iron rail. I planted 2 more this season. Got them bareroot for $2.50 each. 6 weeks later, they are happily blooming. This is an excellent rose for a beginner. I have recommended them for a friend who wants to start a rose garden. They flourish in full sun, but do very well in shadier areas too.

I agree! My Ballerina gets more beautiful every year! This rose reminds me of a hydrangea when it is in full bloom. The flower clusters are gorgeous
