  • Posted by zuzu (Northern California - Zone 9a) on Sep 30, 2011 5:23 PM concerning plant:
    Like Ping Lim's other roses, this one is virtually immune to black spot and retains its pretty foliage when all the roses around it are losing their leaves. It falls into the category of highly entertaining roses because of the variety of colors the blooms display.
