| Posted by Sharon (Calvert City, KY - Zone 7a) on Nov 4, 2011 9:18 PM Carefree Beauty is the most reliable rose in my garden. It's November and nothing is blooming in Kentucky in November, except this rose. It's the first rose to bloom and the last one to lose its last petal. This rose is full and lush and in the four years I've had it, it has never had a pest or disease problem. [ Reply to this comment | |
| Posted by LarryR (South Amana, IA - Zone 5a) on Oct 20, 2012 5:53 PM Carefree Beauty has been growing in our gardens since 1979. It is aptly named, never requiring care except a bit of pruning now and then. The Midwest drought of 2012 didn't faze it. It did not receive any supplementary water. It stopped blooming for a month or so, but started in again as soon as we had some beneficial rains in the fall. [ Reply to this comment | |
