I just took delivery of a plant of 'Crazy Fashion' from Palatine. I swooned over the pictures and decided to take a chance on being able to keep it alive. What can anyone here tell me about this most beautiful rose?
I saw this rose today in the Rosarium of Winschoten. It badly balls in rain, but the scent is "to die for". Foliage: just a little of Black-spot... unlike lots of roses this summer.
After two very rainy summers the blooms have yet to ball. They can brown along the edges of the petals but I think it's because they last so long. They have one of the best full petal forms and a pleasant hard (for me) to categorize fragrance.
Nastarana, Do you have any updates on how this rose did for you? I'm curious to know as I'm intrigued by the coloration. Also, where are you located geographically?
It did very well in its first year following spring planting. However, it froze to the ground during our relatively mild last winter and took a long time to recover. I mostly don't winter protect. I have to conclude it is no more than crown hardy in zone 5. I do believe it would do very well indeed in the warmer zones. The flowers are gorgeous and the foliage mostly disease free until late in the season when BS rampages throughout our area.
