Flirtatious is actually a very pale stripe, though it isn't apparent until you look closely and see two distinct shades of pinkish yellow. It fault is that it is lovely only for a very short time: it goes from closed, to wide open, to completely dissipated, in a very short time. You almost never get to see a bloom at perfection, even when the plant is covered with buds.

Flirtatious does better in the cooler months. In Houston, Texas area it doesn't bloom at all in July, August and September. This is not the best rose for hot climates. I did have a great spring flush of bloom.

On our shrub the flowers are acctually a quite dark pink vergeing on coral with very faint lighter white/pink striping and the base of the flower has hints of yellow. It seems to preform quite well in the northeast with good bud form and and lenght of flower life. Perhaps this is due to the fact we live in the North-Eastern US and it is planted in a sheltered eastern exposure recieving a maximum of 7 hours of direct sun per day

I wonder if the fact that I am growing this rose in the cooler Pacific Northwest is what makes my experience with it so much different than what your description in the opening post stated...?? I find that the blooms last for several days, and the rose bush is often covered with dozens of flowers in various stages of bud and bloom. It reallt is a lovely rose, and one I wish i saw in more gardens....

This is my most prolific rose; consistent bloomer, rapid repeats, every blossom a beauty.

This is either a sport or a seedling of Moonstone. In any case, it is nearly identical in appearance. It has not yet proven itself as tough and prolific as Moonstone, which is an absolutely amazing rose.
