Jim--

Had to start a new thread, my news server is not doing well today. Got
mine potted from a reputable local nursery--and I loved it when it
bloomed. (See photo below.) But I like dark green foliage, and this rose
has yellow-green--and I just cannot get excited about once bloomers. I
want blooms spring to fall. I will keep mine in a pot for a while. You
might like it better than I do. The wrinkled leaves are neat.

Uh oh. You're telling me Hansa is a once-bloomer? Crap.

No way - mine blooms all year and seldom even pauses -it also gets 7'
tall and 7' wide after being pruned down to about 3' each spring.

It sure is for me. Larry and I have had this conversation before. I think
we tentatively decided that maybe mine is just young and not up to par.
However--bearing in mind that this rose, like all the others, got great
fertilizer, full sun and tons of water, I find that a bit hard to believe.
Wait and see what yours does, maybe? In any case, the rose I have is
unmistakably Hansa, and it bloomed once in May and not at all after that.
