As my roses begin blooming in the new season, I wonder, as every year, why such a wide range of leaf sizes. They range from over 3" in width to less than 1".

Am no longer in touch with my sole rosarian friend, so wonder if any Hon. Members have a clue. HB what does this have to do with rose leaf sizes? |
