My favorite rose now is in full bloom. Like every year, it waited to get really going in mid may which coincides with the weather phenomenon we call the “Eisheiligen” (The Saints of Ice) which always happens in mid-may. No matter the weather before or after you get freezing temperatures at night…
I don’t have much of a green thumb but I planted this the week we moved into our home in July 2007 and it’s only ever given me joy. This is the healthiest rose in my garden, it has none of the illnesses or pests the others tend to get and I never do much with it, I only remove the fruit in the fall.
