    I have grown this rose for several years. I like it, but it wasn't what I expected. It sends lots of long, thin, prickly canes that take off in all directions rooting wherever they touch ground. The longest canes were 8-12'.

    I have moved three times in the past 4 years. Baby Blanket and its progeny have survived. I am going to try growing them as climbers against a chain link fence - I hate chain link fences, so I am covering them in flowering vines.

    I will hopefully return with beautiful pictures later this season.

    I have seen 'Baby Blanket' sold as a standard. It would be a beautiful, weeping, flowering standard rose.
