Base of Frederic Mistral in its 2nd year as own-root. Always healthy in my alkaline clay (pH 7.7). I don't spray . It was stingy in its 1st year, but the blooming improved with sulfate of potash. The yellow stuff is whole-grain corn-meal. Fred's roots are big, but near the surface. This rose needs heavy winter-protection to survive zone 5a.
