| Anyone grow Sweet Vigorosa? I'm especially interested in its frequency of bloom and whether it's a hot pink ( what I call a yellowish pink) or a cool pink (a bluish pink). I want a bluish pink. The Weeks Rose site calls it a blue-pink but photos at other sites have a decided yellow tint. |

| All of the pictures on HMF show blooms of a definite bluish pink. Jackie |

| I would call it hot pink, but not a lot of yellow in it. In fact, when it was blooming in my yard, and the county put up some of that fluorescent pink tape to mark off the boundary of my yard, it matched. Unfortunately it was one of the ones that I had to dig up and it does not look that good in the pot. It's own root so I hope it comes back. I have a picture somewhere, I'll try to find it. The rebloom was ok, but I had it in the far corner of my yard where it got no extra watering. I may have done better with regular watering. |

| Mike, I knew I had take a picture of this rose recently and I found it (while looking for a different picture, of course). Here it is:
The other name from this rose is Neon, and it lives up to that name. |

| Thanks Buford and Jackie. I think the local nurseries here are starting to carry more Kordes roses and I might just wait until Spring and see if they'll have Sweet Vigorosa. |
