Bought fortuniana rootstock September Mourn from CoolRoses (FL) recommendation in 2011. Planted in large pot on patio, where it got about 6 hours sun per day. First year not much bloom but evidence of life. Initial blooms smallish 2". Second year many more blooms and rounded growth to 3 feet, with greenish white blooms, about 3" in some profusion, in flushes throughout season. Seems better than Iceberg. Now in garden bed with lovely, healthy, controlled shape. Good disease resistance, though I have regularly sprayed to control blackspot in entire bed. A very good garden rose with almost-exhibition bloom shape.
This rose was still blooming nov 2nd in HALF MOON BAY, CA out on the Coast. It was about 2 ft high. The roses were quite full and showed their yellow stamins.
This is a lovely rose. It has the very slightest tint of green to the flower which is very pretty. The leaves are slightly unusual as well. No scent unfortunately, but a very pretty rose and certainly a nice memorial for those who died September 11th.
