Comments: Without a doubt the most grown rose in the USA and many other places by a landslide. Why? Because it is the most used understock for grafted modern roses, and when the top dies because of lack of care or winterkill, the roots sprout the good doctor. I have seen older neighborhoods with one or more of these roses blooming at every other house in all directions. |
