What our members say

This from Stephanie...Jeanne LaJoie This rose is a climber so maybe it goes on the climber page, but it's also a miniature so here goes. Resistant to black spot even in my garden which is not sprayed very often, it's been a reliable bloomer all summer. This spring it was green to the tips and I did very little pruning to start it off. Now in June it's covered with light pink blooms and is about 6 feet tall. Hopefully it won't outgrow the light pole it's climbing around! SG, Minneapolis, MN 6/2000

This from Kim...Scentsational (Mauve Miniature, Saville, 1995) This rose was recommended to me specifically for its fragrance - but its also a great rose. Like a mini hybrid tea in shape it is lovely at all stages of bloom from bud to fully open. When making a bouquet I like to add a few for the fragrance. I have three plants and they are easy to grow. Care in my garden does not include regular spraying for foliar diseases. Winter care does include dormant spray and mounding over the plants with dirt and then covering with leaves. I added another of this same series - Overnight Scentsation, however it seems more prone to disease and has remained quite spindly for me. I would stick with the original. KSL, White Bear Lake, MN 10/2000
