Check out pic of Kristen Singer blooms I just posted.

I have 2 Kristen Singer bushes - a first year maiden and a maiden in its second year (so technically no longer a maiden?) - both budded on Multiflora from Wisconsin Roses. Let me be the first to comment on this rose as it is my new favorite rose (replacing Brigadoon). In my garden (Zone 5b Chicagoland) Kristen Singer is simply awesome! The two year old took off growing in it's first year, and it's now throwing stems over 20 inches with a very high-centered light pink bloom on top which is absolutely gorgeous. The plant is a very vigorous upright grower. For me the plant growth and form are similar to that of Touch of Class.

The form is exhibition but it may take some grooming to get it just right. It may not be a natural Queen Machine like Ring of Fire but it surely would be a contender. My first year maiden is following in the footsteps of its older sister and soon I'll have two Kristen Singer bloom machines.

Congratulations Steve on producing such a winner!
