This is a powerhouse producer of long stem beauties. My own root bush has not stopped blooming and there are always a few blooms on the plant at any one time. Grows well in hot weather, although bloom size and petallage are reduced. The flowers last a long time cut or on the bush, due to the superb substance of the petals. The rose has a habit of producing side flower buds on long stems even before the main flower bud has opened.
