| Posted by Newyorkrita (North Shore, Long Island, NY ) on Oct 16, 2011 2:56 PM Hot Cocoa is one of those roses with really unusually colored blooms that one either loves or hates. Almost terracotta colored. I love it. Another thing that really stands out on this rose is the exceptional foliage. Shiny, deep green foliage needs either no or very little spraying.
