I bought this in early spring at Needville Vintage Rosery and have not been dissapointed. It blooms not stop. Grows to about 3 feet and blooms are coral colored. Doesn't go w/ my overall color scheme but it is so beautiful I'm glad I've broken my silly rule for this one. Name: Flora Dora.
here is a pix of the bush
Vossner, is 3' the tallest it will get? (I'm always looking for something that will stay short!) How has it been for blackspot?
maggie, it is TOTALLY disease resistant. Of course, you still have to help those "disease resistant" plants and not water late in the day and when you water, not from the top but under the bush. I experienced some leaf drop when I first planted, but it recuperated with 1-2 weeks. and yes, 3 ft is as tall as it'll get. I really, really like this rose, highly recommend it.
Vossner, a very lovely rose. Thanks for sharing it with us.
well, don't know what to think. Zuzu had made a comment elsewhere that this was a climber and now that mine is getting long branches I'm beginning to wonder. It is blooming like crazy and it sure has a climber look to it.
The label it had said its size was a compact 3 ft. hmmmm. I'm going to post this in the rose forum to see if I can keep it compact by just trimming the branches.
I've discovered that a LOT of plants described as "compact" or dwarf, are not so compact or dwarf in TX, due the the long growing season (that's what I've been told.)
Definitely the rose forum should be able to offcer some advice. I have a couple of roses that insist on putting out long, straight-up branches. I've been told it's okay to just snip them to a more desireable length to keep them under control. Ever since then, snip, snip!
