I had this rose in my garden, but shovel pruned it two years ago. Despite the photos I've seen posted here and elsewhere, my bush was quite stingy with it's blooms. It was very disease resistant, but an exceptionally prickly little bugger that would snag on anything passing by. I'm not sure why my plant was so sparse with its flowers, but it was a big disappointment.	REPLY

Cass's Garden With Roses

Fast growing to mature size and easy to establish. In its glory in September with the other shrubs, Bonica and Sally Holmes. Terrific hips. Scary to prune and given the results, no reason to bother except for dead wood.	REPLY

I have been bestowed with two disease infested rose bushes, one is a harwelcome and one a white delight. I live in zone 7. Everything is wrong with them. The leaves are red and yellow, there are black spots everywhere, one is a knarled mass of thorns and scaly bumps, while the other looks as though someone had tried to exterminate it by just sheering it to the ground. (only one thin little 2 foot diseased twig is sprouting off of it.) They are in the shade, so I intend to plant them in full sun, but at present I am freaked out about having to trim them. Do I just saw them down to the good wood like I was told? Won't that hurt them? I would hate to saw off the only branch coming out of this crooked little nub. Should I trash the poor little guys? I really don't want to though. What I want is a rose lovers miracle. Can you help?

Just do away with the roses. Start all over and invest your expense up front with the knock out roses, the newrly wild roses and the carefree delight roses. Once you purchase these and ge them established, ----your work is over. No spraying, petting, etc.----just enjoyment from the long months of beautiful blooms. Susan Turner	REPLY

I have been given 5 Carefree Delight. I am wondering the TRUE color of this rose as I have seen many different shades of pink --from pale to a bright/dark pink. I don't wan to plat them until I know what I will get! I am hoping for a soft and muted pink as shown on the tag. Thank you!	REPLY
