What are all these photos in orange doing here? MAAB is vivid pink......................Cl America is coral orange.,

Our Maria Callas is wonderful. Loves our hot Concord CA weather, blooms prolifically and smells wonderful. We have it in a large container, and it is doing terrifically well up to this point. We prefer this to Electron, which has, in our garden, a similar color, but does not seem to like the heat and the flowers, when they come, burn very quickly. Not Maria!!! She's great!

It put up a better fight against blackspot than did Belami, but it was defoliated by mid June and was dead by the beginning of August in my zone 6 garden in NJ. Definitely not "very resistant" to blackpsot! I've seen it growing in San Jose, CA and I understand why people grow it. Got one from a big box store here in AZ. I love the color and fragrance of the blossoms, but it is not much of a doer here, yet, even at the end of its second season. It really is a prima donna that needs a huge amount of pampering if it is to hit its high notes.
