That's Omoshiro, bezziec! It's my favorite one or maybe I should say my favorite three since I bought two more after seeing how glorious they are.

I love Nelly Moser as well and Dr. Ruppel bloomed here for months last year. It must have been quite happy.

You can also feed with any rose food if that makes it easier for you. They like a LOT of manure and compost. The Jackmanii that does too well here is at the side of a compost pile and I have to cut it back by 12' a few times each summer.
