Summer Song was gorgeous the one summer I had it. So many colors blended together, as changeable as a sunset. Neil, I don't think it was a very vigorous rose, because Austin doesn't carry it anymore. I think Sue can grow anything, no matter how weak.
Yesterday I replaced my Francis Meilland rose with a new one. Today, i see growth in the bottom inch of the one I thought I lost. There are rose duplicates in several places in my yard, and I don't know if it's my impatience, or lack of faith, or just putting a new rose next to the old one threatens it enough that it comes back to life!
