The
Name of the Rose - Named after the cartoon character.
This
charming floribunda was an AARS winner in 1999. Semi-double blooms
in clusters cover a 4' bush and it blooms practically all summer.
Blooms are white with yellow flushing from the center and strong red
edges. Color variation depends on climate conditions.
I don't
think the rose is particularly disease resistant and find that it
has to be sprayed to remain healthy.
