My Aunt Jo did that and the pink simplicity is the only color that smells as good as a hybrid tea....I have been looking at the Knockouts in every nursery around, but they don't have the fragrance or 'loveliness' of the pink simplicity.......keep trying to convince your husband....you can order the bareroot from Jackson and Perkins and they are so much less money....my only problem in the past in ordering was that they didn't deliver them to me until it was too hot in New Braunfels.....I am thinking that I may order them to be delivered in the fall....
I was reminiscing the other day after Aunt Jo had been buried.....took this picture outside her back door....she had them also all around the pool area with rocks on top of them.....and everywhere else she planted them....
This rose has been in the ground for at least 20 years......
