To my knowledge this rose is essentially once blooming. I don't know if it might offer some repeat when it becomes mature or for those in certain favored climates.

Robert-
Now that you've had this rose for approx. 2 more years, have you noticed in your own garden if those rose repeats after the once-blooming period is over? Also - for how many weeks did it bloom and did you have to dead-head or did the petals fall off on their own? Thanks!

HI Carlene, I no longer grow 'Evergreen Gene', so I can't give you much further information.
My space here is limited. I gave propagation materials to both Roses Unlimited and Cool roses then let my specimen go.
As I remember the blossoms shed of their on accord. This cultivar gets large and needs to be given support and space to show it's self.

I still grow it. It's easily 25 feet. And it is a once bloomer in San Diego. It grows up through the top of my 20 foot Mermaid and keeps on trucking.

I was wondering if this rose is very disease resistant - especially to blackspot? Also - does this rose bloom a lot like Carefree Beauty its parent or more like a Hybrid Tea? Any info would be appreciated, thanks.

I can't answer your question. My garden doesn't offer conditions favorable to Black Spot. I would guess Naga Belle to be much better than average in terms of disease resistance based on it's lineage. It blooms more like a HT.

Naga Belle shows excellent resistance to Black Spot. I live in a very hot and humid section of North Carolina. I do not spray and Naga Belle thrives and has frequent flushes of beautiful, deep pink hybrid tea shaped blooms that last well on plant and in the vase. She blooms more than any other rose in my garden which consists mostly of G. Buck roses and a few tea roses.

It's true. I have several roses with blackspot, some have it badly, but Naga Belle has *zero* blackspot!!!! I think this rose is very disease resistant.
