>> "Consider it as a blooming bush and not a rose bush".
Thank you, Cinta!
I was bitterly disappointed when the blooms "didn't look like roses", and fell apart as soon as I tried to put them in a vase. But if I think of it as a flowering bush, it's lovely!
It's just not a "ROSE" rose.
But it has taken over most of the bed that I put it in!
