The finest specimin of Hansa that I have ever seen was growing unattended on the grounds of an abandoned building on the shore of Lake Superior. You know, Charles, I think part of the problem with mine is that it just gets too hot here for it to be happy. Larry, another poster here, says his stays in bloom and is care free. Mine blooms once then squeezes out a few while looking really ugly--lots of brown leaves, though I baby it. In my own garden, I had some rugosa bushes that did quite well on 30 years of neglect until I decided that it was time to give them attention. Good to know.I love the wrinkly foliage and the blooms on this one, but I'm just not sure it is a hot weather rose. It is only maybe in its third year now, so I'll give it more time and try not to hack on it. |
