I have been out of town for a few days, so I am still getting life back to normal. I did not want to forget about the rose of the week. Not sure what I will do over the winter but one thing that I was astonished by was all the knockouts I saw along my trip. They were used in roadside medians! I could not believe my eyes! Anyway, the rose of the week...is Lady Diana.
I got her in March of this year. I have a whole post on how fast this rose grew. Click HERE for that post to see, you might be amazed.
The rose is a hybrid tea. I am not sure why it has speckles on it, but other pics I see on the web has the same specks. According to the web, it grows to five feet...it's already past that. I am 5'3" & it's much taller than I am. It does well in the heat, according to what I read it likes zones 7b and warmer.
It's roses are approximately 5" roses & blooms in flushes... it's pale pink & has roughly 40 petals. If you live in heat & humidity where the devil would sigh, I think this rose works very well.
When it blooms, it blooms all over....great for our heat....
