Hybrid Perpetual
1890
This is one of my roses that I grow more because of its strangeness than for its beauty. The blooms are small and deep red with an interesting white picotee edge. The typical hybrid perpetual growth produces straight thick canes up to 4 feet high with the blooms usually stuck on the ends of these canes. After the spring flush, some blooms do appear on very short stems off of the sides of the canes. It does repeat bloom sporatically throughout the summer and picks up for a pretty good sized flush in the fall.
The plant is winter hardy, with some cane dieback in normal Colorado winters, and no dieback in the winter of 1997/1998.
This plant is on its own roots, and was started from a cutting.
