Moving the rose garden.

[bobm]

My wife is French/ English/Irish/ Scotch and she wears a straw hat, leather gloves and long clothes and lots and lots of sunscreen to prevent sunburn while she is working outdoors. The sun is NOT the problem ... it is the EVIL ATTACK THORNS hiding on the rose bushes.

Little needed. If needed, prune to shape in early spring. Fertilize with a controlled-release fertilizer in spring. Very disease-resistant, it does not need spraying.


IT'S THORNLESS! Panicles of single, hot pink flowers are long-blooming, flowering from June to frost. This disease-resistant rose holds up to black spot very well, and is an excellent plant for integrating into mixed borders. Bred by David Zlesak of Minnesota, it is very winter hardy.

Found this on ebay:

I don't know anything about this nursery, but I'm thinking of ordering one myself from them. If my favorite nursery isn't carrying it then I will.

A GMO ?

No.
It was bred by David Zlesak. You can read about it in his own words if you're interested.
