The rose of the week is Moondance. This was purchased potted...and has bloomed heavily all year. It is a great cutting rose.
It was a 2007 award winner by AARS. I haven't had many issues with it but the roses I bought potted have fared better than bare root, overall.
It grows up to 6 feet. Hardy up to zone 5. Has a mild fragrance. I think it has worked well in our steamy climate.

That is a beautiful rose. I think we have one more good round of roses blooming before they're done.
ReplyDeleteI looked back at previous years. Camellia sasanqua was juststarting to bloom by mid-October last years. Sometimes it doesn't do much at all until near Thanksgiving.
The big Camellia japonicas are winter bloomers, maybe I just don't have any early ones. I'm not sure if they are temperature sensitive or day-length dependent as to when they bloom.
A very pretty rose!
ReplyDeleteI like the name, too.
Have a great day!

Moondance looks beautiful! It must be challenging to take a shot of white roses, but your photo is great!
