With large blooms on a smallish bush (about 3' x 3'), 'Freckles' was in constant bloom for me all season and is hardy to zone 4.(2002, Amanda Beales) was purchased on sale late in the season and planted in September last year.
These 3 photos are Jeanne's with her kind permission.I will close with the 'Disneyland Rose' (Zary/Walden, 2004). This is my brightest, 'orangest' orange rose. I am a convert now! and I mean big time!! There was a thread.

Her stories inspire so many and she represents the absolute best part of gardening - the story and human connection behind what we do. When watching it on the news, I have to admit I had a feeling of disconnect as what was happening seemed beyond my own...
I was a bit upset and scolded Minnie for doing that, but then I patiently took them all and put them over the rose cuttings again. The cutting has to be as long as possible, preferably with 7 or 8 nodes, because half of it will be buried inside the ground.
In 1937, Moore opened Sequoia Nursery in Visalia, California. Ralph Moore celebrated his 101st birthday on January 14, 2008, the same day he retired from 70 years of hybridizing roses, most notably miniatures.
Are you a 'collector' like I am and enjoy all different types? So the two large quadrants became the "Dawn Garden" and the "Sunset Garden". Also the rugosas would generally be large enough to provide some protection to smaller hybrid teas and floribundas.
This is a rose that grows well, it has sturdy branches and slightly longer than normal thorns. You have the ability then, to assure more privacy, once the vines fill in. If you are planting them for security reasons, ensure that you do not get the thornless...
