Zuzu, when I said, " I have never cared for a mini rose" , I meant tended to, take responsibility for. Oops, I should have made that more clear.
Here is where I read about the rose Vintage Visalia (1st paragraph)
http://www.backyardgardener.co...
Then when I scrolled to the bottom, thrips were mentioned. I have been fighting thrips all summer. I read an article the other day that some believe that thrips may be attracted to certain fragrances????
Initially I tried to access HelpMeFind but I could only bring up photos of the rose - no info. I always check HelpMeFind as a source first.
I am glad to hear that you have success with Vintage Visalia.
