In my seemingly endless quest to identify a red rose that was planted in my garden almost 40 years ago (and which I mis-identified early on, trying to correct my error now) I bought Cappa Magna but it is not the rose I am looking for.
My Cappa Magna comes from De Wilde in the Netherlands. It grows on strong, straight, dark canes and at the moment has one bloom atop each one.
I have to grow it in a cage because of aggressive deer in my orchard. When I think the rose is strong enough to withstand the deer, I will remove the cage and see what happens.
