| Posted by Skiekitty (Denver Metro - Zone 5a) on Aug 25, 2014 12:22 PM Got this, amazingly enough, as a body-bag rose a few years ago. It's finally blooming nicely, but only 1-2 blooms at a time. Beautiful blooms, long vase life, not very thorny. A good solid orange that doesn't fade badly. Survives my zone 5 winters with minimal protection. [ Reply to this comment | |
