I'm going to be honest. I wouldn't have ordered Laura Bush if it hadn't been necessary to get a replacement for my much beloved Barbara Bush.
In the rush of Spring planting I overlooked that Laura Bush didn't have a drip button. She was in quite a state when I noticed, and I thought I'd lost her for sure. New planted roses don't forgive dehydration very easily. Much to my surprise Laura Bush did just that, though she is still small because of my error.
She's blooming in the heat, and her color doesn't fade into something horrid as I'd feared. So far I'm very pleased with this First Lady.
