This thing is an absolute thug in my Central Texas garden. It shoots out ridiculously long, thin whips of over 20 feet which I have attempted to confine to the support of a crepe myrtle tree, from whence it dangles wickedly hooked limbs to fish for innocent gardeners trying to tend their plants. (I.e. Breeding stock only!)

This a remarkably healthy, drought tolerant rose. An excellent rose for Texas -- I would say exceptional but for the fact that its dark velvet red blossoms can burn in the high summer heat. Plant behaves as a triploid and is alas generally seed sterile for me.

A very free bloomer. This photo is from first half of March 2023 (i.e. it precedes my other photo of same plant.) The subsequent summer heat and drought here in Central TX nearly killed this plant, whose blossoms fade very quickly in heat. (It needs relocating to a more protected location.)

Truly an underrated little rose. (Rose in back is Black Magic.)

Yellow Butterfly can be quite floriferous when she is happy. (The rains did her a disservice in this picture.) My plant wants more supplemental water and feeding than I generally provide, and she can suffer a modicum of BS when she is stressed in my no-spray garden in Central TX. Still, she is a rather nice little trooper.
