Initial post 21 MAY by Michael Garhart
I saw this recently at a store. Looked nice enough. Very fully display of blooms and foliage. Color is a bright white-yellow. Neither white or yellow or cream, but all of each as one tone.

My problem is general is the distrust of Sunblaze roses looking amazing at the box stores, and downy mildewing 2 months later into a sad mess. The new generation of Sunblaze obviously incorporates Knock Out roses for better health, but the Knock Outs they use also do not correspond to downy mildew resistances.

Until I see their full lineages, my distrust will be the same as the prior generation of Sunblaze roses, as both black spot and downy defoliate miniatures at a greater speed and ugliness due to the miniatures dense air flow obstruction and closeness to the ground.

While I realize this all sounds negative, I like most Meilland roses, and hope they combat this issue. Otherwise, I'm just throwing money away at something pretty for a few weeks a year.
