Comments: This is literally the most common rose grown in the USA. And not on purpose. It is used as a vigorous root stock for grafting buds from other hybrids onto. It is so vigorous, that when the hybrid top dies, it usually survives. It is everywhere. If it bloomed all season instead of just in spring, it wouldn't be such a nuisance. Still for a once bloomer, it is a beautiful rose. |
