| Posted by Newyorkrita (North Shore, Long Island, NY ) on Feb 10, 2014 2:25 PM Stunning. A beautiful, dark red, high-centered hybrid tea. Just as all of my roses here in my humid Long Island NY garden, Taboo needs to be sprayed with a systemic fungicide to remain disease free. [ Reply to this comment | |
