    'SOCblue' rose Reviews & Comments

    RoseScentillating Blues
    Initial post 24 JAN 09 by Unregistered Guest
    The pages for this rose ('Scentillating Blues') and its synonym (SOCblue) both state that the flowers are "borne mostly solitary, in large clusters".

    Which is it? Somehow I doubt that it could really be both...

    Thank you for the correction. It should have said "blooms borne mostly solitary and in SMALL clusters", which is true for many roses in the mini-flora class.

    A) Most welcome. It's good to be able to help a bit.

    B) Thanks for the clarification -- I know very little about this particular class, and I'm happy to have the information.

    Jon, some roses are borne both singly and in clusters. HMF doesn't have a more exact way of saying that....

    Well, see Lyn's reply, above. If HMF can say what Lyn said (assuming that her comment is accurate, which I have no reason to doubt), then it should be possible to correct the listing.

    (If HMF _can't_ say what she said, this brings up the obvious question: Why not?)
