Neon Lights was here when we moved into this house almost eight years ago. It is Winter hardy, though it will die to the ground in difficult Winters. It happily puts up new canes and is constantly  in  bloom all Summer. When some of the other roses are sulking in the heat, this one doesn't seem to notice. It has been very healthy with little to no disease.


It hasn't been much of cutting rose as the stems are often too short. As a garden rose for color it is hard to beat.

Hi there. I had a Neon Lights tree rose for 10+ years but lost it over this past harsh winter. Would you be interested in starting a cutting of yours? I really love this rose and am so sorry mine is gone now. It's impossible to find anywhere.

All of my attempts to root cuttings have failed. When the bush has recovered from this last freeze I'd be happy to send you cuttings, probably towards the end of June.

Oh that would be wonderful if you would like to do that! Should I send you my address?

If you click on my name, you'll see a link to my website. There is contact information there. I'd rather you not post your address for the world to see.

Hi, I got your post to my web page, I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Neon Lights appears to be lost to the late freeze we had. Now it did this once before and recovered in August. If it does I'll post you and let you know.

I'm good at keeping things growing, but have never been very good with propagating. So don't see my lack of success as meaning it can't be done.

Hi again. I'm sorry to hear your rose might have taken a dive. I'll keep my fingers crossed and wait to hear from you again.
