| We purchased
a few of this variety when it was available from a wholesaler that
propagated this variety for Heirloom roses. What the original variety
of this is, is unknown to us as it's been renamed and registered like the
registrars are allowing so many varieties now. Once the original stock
runs out we will either stop selling this plant of offer it under another
name. We have perhaps 20 of these left, once they're gone......
A hybrid wichuraiana this is supposed to be a new and
improved version of Dorothy Perkins. We're still growing our plants
outside to maturity so don't know the ultimate size of the plants.
Once outside I can state without reserve they're healthy and vigorous.
For use as a rambler they should do quite well. I haven't noticed
repeat yet.
