Thanks, Cindi. I purchased pink intuition from Wisconsin Roses, and grew it as a "maiden" plant - which means that is a newly grafted rose with just the little bud protruding from the stem of an otherwise complete plant. You have to lop off the entire top of the original rose after it comes out of dormancy and sprouts leaves, so that the energy goes into growing the grafted bud. It's doing just fine, and is quite big.
I buy roses whose names (or celebrity personalities) I don't like - but then rename them. I like to come up with old-garden names that resemble the plant's characteristics, like "Souvenir de la Mme Diplocarpon".
