This rose was named for my friend Little Carol Sparks, who is only about 4 foot 7 inches tall. However, her namesake rose can make a plant that will grow to 4 or even 5 feet tall. I have even seen one that was almost 6 feet tall.

This is usually the first rose to bloom each year and the last to bloom each year. The flowers seem to come without end. The heavily petaled blooms are rich, deep pink with wonderful HT form. However, the blooms tend to be too large for the mini class.

I would have reclassified it as a mini flora, except that the classification was supposed to be for varieties that made a lower growing plant. Hence, the problem with the reclassing to mini flora.

Now that I only have a small amount of space at my new home for growing roses, my choices must be very special. I made a place for Little Carol at my new home, because it is a GREAT ROSE.
