| Posted by zuzu (Northern California - Zone 9a) on Nov 22, 2014 9:14 PM This is one of the most entertaining roses in my garden because it produces blooms of so many different colors: lavender blue, silver, beige, and pinkish-mauve, often all blooming at the same time. In contrast to many other floribundas, it grows well on its own roots and is quite vigorous. [ Reply to this comment | |
