I guess I just don't understand the strange ways of this rose. I've never seen anything like it. The flowers are like tiny pink cabbages! I'd like to give her the My Favorite Alba Rose award, but Chloris is pretty cute, too. Even though she didn't bloom at all last year, I have a feeling that this girl could stand up to anything. I planted her in a horribly, ugly spot under the dappled shade of a forsythia bush, and all the other roses in her bed get blackspot. She may have disobeyed me and done a center relocation in an attempt to crowd out Evelyn, but I wouldn't mind another FP. She's a much bigger boss than Konigin von Danemark.
Well worth the wait!
