Sue, not big on climbers, not big on purple but Stormy Weather would have been awesome. I would have given it serious consideration for my blue garden.
Polyanthas have been a delight and easy in my garden. I grow Orange Hearts, Pink Hearts and Red Hearts and they are incredibily easy. I do trim the spent flowers b/c in polys they seem to make the plant unkept if not done, vs. a HT, let's say. Highly recommend these. Grow3 other polys but can't think of names right now.
I am resisting researching the roses featured in Cliff's emails b/c I just don't want to baby any more plants this summer.
I wasn't aware there was a min. Pink Home Run. I got the Pink Home Run from Chamblees and while healthy and vigorous like reg. Home Run, the pink is turning to red as time goes on. This is not a rose I would replace if something were to happen to it.
