Initial post 29 NOV 21 by Lindsey Smith
Do-Si-Do (1984): Medium pink shrub. the medium-sized, ovoid-pointed buds of ruby red (RHSCC 60B) open to double, open, cupped, 4-5 in blooms of lavender rose (RHSCC 64C) which age lighter. The blooms are borne in clusters of 3-10 and have a sweet fragrance. The abundant, leathery, glossy foliage is olive green. the erect, bushy, 3-4.5 ft plant is vigorous, blooming June to killing frost. The plants are winter-hardy in Iowa without protection.

Personal Experience: Reiman Garden's Buck Rose Collection has two plants of Do-Si-Do, one from the early 90s and one from 2009. Neither are vigorous, the taller plant being ~18" tall and wide, but both reliably bloom every year. This plant is difficult to find in commerce.
