I just got mine and am thinking of planting it in a large pot with lav./red purple striped Clematis 'Paulie', white Gladiolus 'Alaska' and a deep electric blue anemone. The colors seem to work surprisingly. Any thoughts? Yours is just delicious looking!

Sounds very good, but may I ask you. How big is your planter?

Container interior is 15" across & 25" deep. After measuring, I think the Anemone is too much. The depth gives the rose roots plenty of room, I would only use 3 bulbs and the clematis should have sufficient room since it is not twining and only gets to be 4-6' itself.

I am afraid 15" is barely enough just for a rose. Clematis with time will have huge root system. Can your planned 'arrangement' be planted in the ground?

Petal count, bloom form and color do not look characteristic for this variety

If you created only one rose, Marianne, that would be more than enough for you to be remembered by. This is a real masterpiece, Paul. Thank God, you have so many more to share with us and thank you so very much for your labor of love!

Much appreciated, Marina! Very kind of you to say.
Admittedly, I've come to think of 'Marianne' as one of the best things I bred. Its not a perfect rose, but then I've yet to meet one that qualifies for that title.
