| Very pretty. It is supposed to be mildew resistant too. That is usually a problem we have in the midwest.....I have wanted to try R.P. Has it been healthy for you or is that not a problem where you live? gld |

| Mildew is rarely a problem for me. I have some mildew "prone" plants (i.e. monarda etc.) and they don't seem to get it. Not sure why because it can be VERY humid and pretty hot here in the summer. This summer is abysmal.95 degree days with 100 percent humidity. It has gotten mildew yet so if it was going to it would have this summer! I couldn't keep a potato chip "crisp" for two minutes with the bag open and bread had to be stored in the fridge lest it get moldy. Thank god its (temperature) dropped here. Sweet release! I do often get mildew and black spot on my hybrid tea roses though. Go figure. :) |
