| Posted by zuzu (Northern California - Zone 9a) on Feb 8, 2014 9:37 PM Black Beauty, one of my favorite roses, started out in my garden as Abracadabra, a striped florists rose that commonly reverts to Hocus Pocus. Hocus Pocus, in turn, commonly reverts to Black Beauty. I enjoyed all three phases of this metamorphosis, but the final product is the best of the three. [ Reply to this comment | |
