Uh oh! I should have asked more questions about it before buying it then! I planted Charisma last year. So far, no grief. *sigh*
If I'm naming the one that gives me the most joy when I get a perfect bloom, I suppose my favorite would be Minuette. It reminds me of the florist roses that my dad would bring me unexpectedly when I was feeling blue.
P.S. - up to 3 inches of SNOW predicted for here tomorrow, so my current buds that are setting shall be gone... again...
