| Posted by Newyorkrita (North Shore, Long Island, NY ) on Oct 16, 2011 10:46 AM America is a beautiful and unusual off-pink colored rose with a typical high-centered hybrid tea form of flower. Here in my garden it does need strictly scheduled spraying for blackspot since I want it to be blackspot-free. Not a rose that can miss a spraying and stay blackspot-free. [ Reply to this comment | |
