I don't mind the name, polka, just thought it was an odd choice for a rose in the "romantica" series. I like to see "real garden" pictures (or San Jose rose garden, of course) and read "real person" reviews of roses in colder zones before adding them to my garden. How many times have you seen a plant in person that didn't look like the marketing pic? Exactly.
I do like that Edmonds carries some roses own root.
It is fun to see the new roses. I guess coral continues to be a "hot" color. Fine with me, I like it.
I hope that the lilac stripe rose becomes more widely available. I like the color with or without the stripe.
