Actually, I am rescuing the rose and plan to give it to the local Garden Club for their plant sale at the end of May. It should be looking pretty good by the end of the month. I don't have another spot for a rose that has the potential to be close to six feet tall in my garden, but someone will ...
Sometimes just changing where a rose is sited in the garden makes all the difference in its performance, but this time I just don't have a new spot for SA
SA is a pretty rose and I wish it had worked out, but I have enough roses to enjoy. I don't mind sharing.
