This is arguably my toughest rose. My Baby Boomer has gone thru winter w/ very little water & indoors too. When it went out in the spring of '06 it had 3 leaves about as big as a person's pinkie nail. (Powdery mildew claimed all the other leaves.) It took all summer to recover & that fall I got 2 gorgeous little blooms. When BB opens ALL the blooms have what I call "pinpoint centers". You could literally stick a straight pin down the center & it woudn't hit any of the petals.
The color is a clear light pink that's quite attractive & the foliage is matte, light green.
Unfortunately, I lost this beauty this spring. It just couldn't muster up the strength to grow.
