Hello, I was just wondering if anyone is familiar with a rose called'Painted Moon'? I have ordered one for spring, ( instead of being able to find 'Perfect Moment',which I love the color of..) -and I was wondering what others have thought of this rose? Is it a rose that prefers a warmer climate( like Texas or California) or does it prefer a cooler area, ( like Southern Ontario)? How does it,s coloring compare to 'Perfect Moment'? ( paler,brighter,..?) Does it have any propensity for diseases I should watch for? I,m going to be growing this rose in a very large container, so I can move it about freely. I live in Hamilton, Ontario, about a zone 5-6. Thanks for any imput- Lenage.

Roses that change colour as they age often the colour will depend on the soil and area where they are grown. Both Painted Moon and Perfect Moment are like this. Painted moon was bred by Dickson in Ireland and the other by Kordes in Germany. Both are well respected rosarians so both roses are good ones. Painted Moon does get black spot towards the end of the summer but otherwise it is a healthy rose. I kept my Painted Moon out of the hot afternoon sun as it tended to make the red go to a garich carmine.

Hmmm, Thank you, Old Rosarian... I,ll be looking forward to seeing how this rose performs . It should be ok from most problems with the blackspot then,as it will be in a container, and more easily controlled. Garish Carmine! Cool! LOL..Just think, I could run a wee experiment ... Some blooms in softer light to see what happens to the color, then, later, try it in fuller sun to watch the reds go wild...:D...This spring should be quite exciting , as I,ll be looking forward to growing a quality item! Thanks again! L.
