Baby Blanket rose AND Hot Cocoa!
I just looked it up and it is a lite pink :-( I liked the super duper color
enhancer it must have had when I bought it....I just lugged it to another, not so sunny and hot site...as it is in a pot, so will see if it ever gets darker. I have HP book #5 and I decided to reread #4 first...so am anxiously awaiting when I get to start #5. I bought a J/P "Hot Cocoa" rose, not really sure I liked the end result of brown, but WOW is it a grower and bloomer....I love the buds and beginning of the rose. I put it into a pot too and it is doing fabulous. Funny which roses you think you will love are not the ones that you end up really liking! Now if we can just get our daughter thru this HOT summer to the middle of Aug., we will have full term granddaughters!! -- Linda S. in So. California "Anne Lurie" wrote in message . com... 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? {{{{{{Linda}}}}} (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!) Anne Lurie Raleigh, NC "Linda" wrote in message ... 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.. -- Linda S. in So. California **Anxiously awaiting the birth of identical TWIN granddaughers in Aug. |
