was divine for about 4 weeks each spring in the coveted eastern bed. the rest of the year was not so divine, with arching octopus arms and blackspotted foliage in the semi-shady spot. took up too much premium real estate, so was relegated to a back alley position. has suffered ever since, with not a bloom. i sometimes regret this decision and perhaps another move to the Old European bed is in order. 21012, death by drought
Une belle rose dont les origines se sont perdues. La floraison, très précoce, est encore plus belle à ombre claire où les couleurs gagnent en intensité et en parfum.
