I hate to write bad things about one of Mom's creations...BUT...I hated this rose as a test and never intended to release it to the public. My ex-husband had a number of plants of this rose on hand and insisted that this rose be introduced with a name on our list that I had hoped to save for a much better rose.

Now, let me tell you why...You should never buy this rose. It mildews more than any other rose I have ever grown. I never saw this rose without fungus on the foliage. The color fades from apricot to a sickly yellow as soon as the rose opens. The bloom opens quickly on the bush and falls apart, once it is cut off the bush. Any dampness in the air will create bruising on the petals.

For all of these reasons, I hope that this rose is now extinct.
