Anyone else pleasantly surprised by Moondance?

| I love this rose! It has bloomed like crazy, the blooms look beautiful and hold their shape for a long time, the foliage is rich and healthy and it has been a vigorous grower in my garden. I am thinking about adding another one to my front yard.
I'm interested in seeing if everyone else is enjoying it as much as I am? |

| Why "pleasantly surprised"? Have you read a lot of negatives? I planted Moondance last fall, and it is a prolific bloomer for me, too. I love the luminous quality of the blooms! Unfortunately, though, it was the first rose to get BS, so right now it's a lot of blooming on several tall, otherwise bare canes. :-( Bob

| I was pleasantly surprised because it was a "new" rose and therefore there wasn't a lot of personal feedback on it. I'm sorry to hear about your blackspot, thankfully mine shows no signs of it (yet)... just perfect bloom after perfect bloom. :-) |

| My MD is not blooming enough. It has been in the ground almost a year but I will give it more time. |

| I love my Moondance. It grows well, blooms a ton, and the blooms are lovely and fragrant. It is one of my favorite roses. |

| I'm not surprised. ; >) I planted my Moondance last year, so mine is in its second year and it is doing awesome. I was extremely happy with mine last year, and even posted here to say so. So no, I'm not surprised. : >) Nice long lasting blooms, nice foliage, nice vigor, definately a winner in my garden. 
Another nice white that I've recently added is Pope John Paul II. Big beautiful pure white blooms, heavenly scent, and very very long lasting in a vase. If you love whites, it is another one worth having, imho. |

| I have to laugh that I mentioned how much I love this rose and didn't remember to post any pictures of it. Thanks to Bob and Matt for rectifying that oversight. Matt, I do have a thing for white in the garden. I probably have as much white as I do every other color combined. PJP II has been on my, "pick it up if I see it" list and I am surprised that I haven't come across it here in Chicago anywhere. After your recommendation, I would probably still order one now if J&P wasn't falling apart at the moment. I went back to buy another Moondance this week and I happened upon a nice rose sale and picked up a Tamora, a Jude, and a Jeanne Lejoie. Ahhh... life is good. |
