my "queen" is a beauty, indeed, but she insists on blooming only once a year (june). has anybody any idea, what could be the matter?

It is not the real RdV - there are many impostors in commerce in german-speaking countries.

yes, i really thought of that, too, although blooms and foliage look very much like it, as far as i can tell. i know, of cause the hmf-pictures and i have seen various exemplars in natura (baden bei wien, sangerhausen). maybe i have a sported one, for climbing sports often loose their ability to re-bloom and mine has a tendency to climb (2-meter shoots a year). climbing sports seem to be common for teas and hybrid-teas, but have hardly ever heard of a climbing hybrid-perpetual-sport.......

RDV is definitly a repeater. I feed all my old roses with a good granular food every 2 weeks. RDV loves lots of food!

Mine just produced its first bloom here on the zone 5/6 line, and it was RED--classic lipstick red. I assume I got a mislabeled one?
