    To my knowledge this rose is essentially once blooming. I don't know if it might offer some repeat when it becomes mature or for those in certain favored climates.

    Robert-
    Now that you've had this rose for approx. 2 more years, have you noticed in your own garden if those rose repeats after the once-blooming period is over? Also - for how many weeks did it bloom and did you have to dead-head or did the petals fall off on their own? Thanks!

    HI Carlene, I no longer grow 'Evergreen Gene', so I can't give you much further information.

    My space here is limited. I gave propagation materials to both Roses Unlimited and Cool roses then let my specimen go.

    As I remember the blossoms shed of their on accord. This cultivar gets large and needs to be given support and space to show it's self.

    I still grow it. It's easily 25 feet. And it is a once bloomer in San Diego. It grows up through the top of my 20 foot Mermaid and keeps on trucking.
