Zuzu - the way it's planted from what I saw means its has to be a HD rose. I'll be digging it partially up saturday morning to see if I can find a tag. If there's no tag, then I'll have to wing it. It might be that mysterious "Shreveport" I bought earlier. I doubt that the tag, if any, is correct as, like I said before, it's not a rose I would normally buy. It's wayyy too big to be any rose from RU. All of mine from them ..
Wait.
I remember buying four roses from their 2-year old plant sale. But still, those were still kinda piddly compared to this rose. I'll just have to do some digging to figure it out.
What I hate now is that, while we're getting some much-needed rain, I'm also starting to see black spot. I have a few roses showing signs of black spot. Bleh. Mostly OGR rather than some of my hybrids. Usually ones with French names. LOL!!
But, on a positive note: my Princess of Monaco is FINALLY putting out new leaves!!! I'm hoping to get lots of leaves before a frost comes through, so I'm looking at 2 more months probably. I think we're going to have a normal fall as the geese are starting to V-line south & the bucks are still in velvet. They're also still very red, which tells me a normal autumn rather than a early winter. If they were to start turning gray, then we'd be in for a early snowy winter.
