Isn't it funny how some breeders etc...consider a rose to not be worth commercially marketing yet many find the rose to be aboslutely fine?!? I have seen that happen many times before.
I always liked to purchase the Test Panel Roses from J&P each year to grow and evaluate and many times they would decide a rose was not worthy of marketing yet I found the rose to be quite nice. I have a coral pink HT with a rather old-fashioned bloom that has very little fragrance that they felt had "weak necks" to the point that they decided not to market it. However, the roses on my bush of that rose do not have any weaker necks than any other rose I grow and the blooms are outstandingly beautiful. They are very large with heavy substance and I have counted as many as 35 blooms in a given flush and the blooms last for two weeks or better on the bush or even cut for a vase. It is super disease resistant, has beautiful dark green dense foliage, few thorns, and is winter hardy in my zone 5b/6a garden with no added help from me. And, the flushes of flowers are not only large, but they repeat very quickly which make it seem to always be in bloom. So anyway, maybe others weren't feeding or caring for their plants correctly causing the very heavy blooms to nod a bit, but believe me I love this rose and am propagating more of it for my own personal garden because I love it and think J&P missed out marketing a really great rose.
