La Passionata
This is possibly the best red rose I have grown. Like many of my
favourites, it wasn't an intended purchase. Picked it up on a whim from Honeysuckle Cottage Nursery (Sydney, Australia) early in spring. If you like big, fat, high cholesterol, long strong-stemmed red HT roses that last well in the vase and have a scent to die for, add this to your list (if you northerners can find it): http://www.helpmefind.com/rose/pl.php?n=15453 http://www.members.optusnet.com.au/d...l#LaPassionata Helpmefind says that the average bloom is 8" wide. For me that's a maximum, but I'm growing mine in a pot. It's still the biggest bloom I grow - and I've grown other 'huge' reds like Mr Lincoln and Kentucky Derby before this. Not a trace of untidiness about it, despite the size. |
