| Posted by zuzu (Northern California - Zone 9a) on Feb 6, 2014 3:14 PM This noisette rose produces a magnificent flush of blooms late in spring and can rebloom later, but the subsequent flushes in my garden are meager enough to be inconsequential and disappointing. The rose is extremely easy to grow and can survive with no care at all. The largest of my Madame Alfred bushes grew by accident after a wheelbarrow of pruning debris tipped over in a corner of my garden and I failed to pick up every twig afterward. The bush is shade tolerant and drought resistant. [ Reply to this comment | |
