| Posted by Skiekitty (Denver Metro - Zone 5a) on Jan 23, 2012 11:29 AM Bought this as a bareroot 2009 from Roses Unlimited. Smells wonderful of old rose, very strong scent. I heavily mulch, but this has been a strong rose as far as winter-survival. Fairly bushy, light green leaves. [ Reply to this comment | |
