| Posted by zuzu (Northern California - Zone 9a) on Oct 1, 2011 10:53 PM Penelope is a dream rose: a bloom factory that's easy to grow. It quickly grows into a large bush with very strong canes. The blooms are mostly white, but the buds are coral and yellow and look wonderful in combination with the lighter blooms. [ Reply to this comment | |
