The Rose of the Week is the Europena Rose. Last year, I bought my son and stepson roses, because occasionally they like them to give (roses and other flowers) gifts to girlfriends etc. So I bought them each a set of roses. My son received Iceberg and my stepson Europena. I did it to keep them out of my other flowers as well. For the record, if I were a bachelor I would grow roses for obvious reasons. They are welcome to cut as many as they want...but I asked for a head's up. In any event, they were bought in April 2012 from a nursery that I have had mixed experiences with.
Europena make WONDERFUL cut roses. They live forever in the vase. They bloom all summer long.Below is a history of my roses. If you want to find out about Europenas...Click HERE
This was taken in May of 2012. They had mildew on them when I got them and they looked sickly for a while.

As you can see the weeds loved them. So recently I finally screened them.
They are doing much better now...everytime I screen the plants seem to do better

Europeana is on a list of top 10 reblooming roses on Squidoo.
@Nell...they are really good roses...they just don't like stuff on their leaves (ie water or sprays)
