Folksinger is one of the most continuous repeat blooming roses I know of, and very vigorous as well. She also has an interesting quirk in that there is a great variation in the flowers. Most are semi-double and Hybrid Tea like in form. At other times, the plant throws blooms that are fully double, somewhat frilly, and more like an English rose. The first time she did this, I thought I had a sport, but I have 3 plants of Folksinger and they all do this.

She has a fairly strong sweet fragrance. The only fault that this rose has is that she is quite prone to mildew in a humid climate usually beginning in late August. She gets no blackspot in my garden.

The pink rose in the picture is Lilian Austin. She is another favorite. Fragrant, salmon pink with yellow at the base of the petals. Lilian Austin is also extremely vigorous, continuous blooming, and pretty much a disease free rose. I recommend her highly as well.
