| I bought this rose about 25 years ago at the nursery that was about a block up the street from me (since closed :(. It didn't get enough sun, lots of black spot, would lose all its leaves, maybe one or two roses a year, which were gorgeous!
The last few years I started feeding with Alfalfa, the black spot left, and since I've had to cut the tree down that was giving the shade, it's getting very healthy new shoots. What fun this has been, it's the only Hybrid Tea (I think that's what it is) I've ever had that showed great improvement with care! I don't think it's even in commerce anymore! |
