Posted by tabby (denver, colorado zone 5) on Nov 15, 2011 5:41 PM I'm going to assume this database entry is for the Banshee described by Leonie Bell in the 1977 American Rose Annual, and not the rose now referred to as High Country Banshee, but which many still call just Banshee. I grow both and they are very different roses. [ Reply to this comment | |
