| Posted by zuzu (Northern California - Zone 9a) on Oct 1, 2011 10:29 PM This rose is more compact and less floriferous than most hybrid perpetuals, but the striking appearance of the blooms makes up for their scarcity. I usually start craving salad when I look at this rose because it looks so much like radicchio chicory. [ Reply to this comment | |
