I spent some time with Souvenir de St Anne’s this week, giving it a trim and taking out the dead wood. It’s a well established bush that takes care of itself apart from summer watering and the occasional handful of fertiliser. We have hot, dry summers; mild, frost-free winters.
Noticed a small hip and cannot recall seeing a hip on this rose in the past. It is about 1cm in diameter and just beginning to show some colour.
Has anyone who grows Souvenir de St Anne’s found that their plants set hips?
