'Forgiveness' makes hybrid-tea-shaped blooms that are extremely long-lasting. The color is a rich red and develops smoky shadings as it opens. My nose detects a slight fragrance.
I have not seen any disease on the foliage, but I have only had the plant for a short time. It's definitely a keeper.

I recently purchased a plant of this variety from a local rose society and I am impressed -- happy, healthy and loaded with tiny buds and blooms. If it continues to thrive, I may need more!

I sent you a private message with a link to a photo (it's from a commercial site, so I did not want to post it here on HMF.

Thank You for the message and Your reply.
But I meant some photo's of Your own plant. The HMF community would love to see photo's of the whole plant, the flowers, leaves, canes and prickles. I know it's a lot and a bit bold to ask, but would You be so kind?
Regards, Jay-Jay.

It has straight, very sharp prickles at intervals and the leaves are small and glossy. I will try to get some photos up soon.

I added three of my photos of Itty Bitty Pink today, on my parents' patio in inland Southern California. It was not in full bloom at the time, but you can see how healthy the leaves are in that climate and that it produces clusters of many blooms. One photo shows an opening bud.
It looks to me like it would be great for a low border.

Roundelay is one of the more disease-resistant roses in my garden here at the coast in Southern California.

First of all, I love this site and was happy to join as a paying member.
My question is why, at the end of so many of your rose descriptions, from Austins to Hybrid Teas to Climbers, is the Scanniello quote below added at the end? It describes what are called tree roses or "standard" roses, although many or most of the varieties to which this description is added are not available in tree form.
It isn't a huge problem, but it seems strange to me. Here is the quote:
"[From A Year of Roses, by Stephen Scanniello, pp. 146-147:] Tree roses, also called standard roses, are often displayed to their best advantage when planted in containers... Tree roses come in heights anywhere from two feet high (most common with miniature roses) to over six feet. There are two forms of standard roses available. One if the common form of a long stem supporting a bushy display of roses, sort of like a large lollipop. The other is a weeping standard, the only style I think worth using.
Tree roses are created by attaching three buds of a rose cultivar to a long straight stem of another rose. The most common stem stock to use is an unnamed rugosa rose variety. Other roses have been used for creating standards, but the rugosa seems to be the strongest, surviving the longest."

I've always found it odd too.

There was a time, not that long ago, when HMF had different availability entries for roses sold as standards. I don't know this for a fact, but I believe the information about rose standards was added to such roses. I agree it's time to remove the note.
