'Vanity'
quickly got out of bounds in my garden and is now hopelessly
intermingled with 'Alba Meidiland'. It is a vigorous growing
rose with a very lax habit. It would be a good choice for a low fence
or a large area where it could be isolated. The blooms are a shocking
pink that dramatically stand out, therefore making it a difficult
rose to integrate with color schemes. Left to its' own devices, it
will sprawl all over the place and, since it is not a dense plant,
you might want to grow something else with it to fill in.
The blooms
are charming, single with wavy petals. The color could be described
as fuchsia or shocking pink and they fade with age. Orange hips follow
in the fall.
