Isn't it pretty? The flowers are supposed to be 4 inches across, but this one is practically a mini-flora. I guess it'll do bigger flowers when it's older.
I especially wanted to protect this one because it was hard to find and has the high petal count I like. It's only supposed to be 3' by 3' when fully grown, so it'd probably make a good pot rose.
I can't really fault it for how badly it's done...I planted it last year at a bad time and I really should have kept such a small rose in a pot, rather than leaving it at the mercy of the elements. Most people who have normal-sized Prairie Sunrises think that it's a pretty great rose. I recommend it if you can find it!
