| I think I acquired this rose from the now defunct Vintage Roses many years ago and I like it so much. I have an attraction to multi hued flowers like Leonie and also for attractive disease free shrubs, which she is. In my garden she puts on a truly glorious spring show, but blooms very sparingly thereafter. Perhaps it's because my automatic sprinklers don't reach her with a generous amount of water in our hot summers, but I do wonder what others experience with her as to repeat blooming. Here's a description: And here's a link to a website with a good photo. http://www.classicroses.co.uk/products/roses/leonie-lamesch/ |

| It's a real favorite of mine as well, although by mid-morning on a hot day, the petals tend to fry. But beautiful if it's cooler. |

| I have a LL growing in a large pot. My climate in the SF No Bay should be very similar to yours. Mine re-blooms all summer. Your guess about yours that it needs more water could be correct - mine loves water. Here is a picture from last week, when most of the bush was in its "pink" phase. Another picture follows. Jackie |

| She was lovely here, but we no longer have her. Gophers ate her roots, and she was never the same rose. Her bloom production, never robust, declined to "almost never." But she is a remarkable beauty, at her best. Jeri |

| I love your photos. My baby cutting put out a little bud, eaten by a grasshopper I bet. I hope this means my plant will be happy as a bigger plant |

| I will be growing it soon. I couldn't resist the pictures anymore and have it on order. I hope it blooms prolifically and doesn't fry too badly here. |

| Glad to see I'm not alone in loving this rose. Definitely will start pushing water her way in future. BTW, sources suggest this rose is of small stature; mine is 6' tall, shapely and full with healthy deep green foliage. Even if mine is a shy rebloomer, she is very attractive anyway. |
