Why this fabulous rose isn't more highly rated, widely grown, and offered by more nurseries is beyond my understanding. After growing roses for more than forty years, (hundreds of different varieties), I would say this rose has all the superior qualities one would want in rose of this class. If it has any fault, I can't think of it.
Unfortunately, we moved our residence in the middle of last winter and had to leave all my roses, including two bushes of Waiheke. Will be looking for replacements in the new garden.
