Baby Blanket rose
 

I bought the rose, Baby Blanket which is a shrub and the color was a darker
pink....It had tons of blooms, then I deadheaded and now the blooms are
coming again, but totally pale, pale pink....nothing like the rich pinks it
was when I bought it. What could be the problem?

So. Calif. is getting HOT and it is in sun, at least 1/2 of the day....could
that be zapping the color? Other roses seem to be maintaining their
original color..

Baby Blanket rose
 

Linda,

I have a Baby Blanket tree rose/groundcover rose combo that I bought from
Jackson & Perkins last year (actually, what I have is J&P's lame attempt at
replacing what I ordered, but.....), but even in the J&P catalogue, Baby
Blanket is a pale pink rose. (As it is on my own plants.)

I wonder if perhaps the roses you bought had been given some "super-duper
color-upper" (boy, I guess you can tell I've just ready Harry Potter 5,
huh?) that made Baby Blanket seem like something it isn't really?

(That's a big ole grandma hug for Linda.)

So, nu, are those twin granddaughters going to be the smartest kids on the
left coast, or what? You can have California -- I've already claimed the
East Coast for my own granddaughter! :) (Actually, they are about to move
to the Midwest, so the East Coast may be open to new contenders!)
