Leon purchased this hybrid tea rose as a patio plant about four years ago. It was a gorgeous thing when it got to our house\u2013lush deep green foliage and eventually got amazing, flaming-red flowers. That beauty didn\u2019t last long, sadly, as we couldn\u2019t keep the pot moist enough and the leaves dropped and the flowers disappeared. In the following spring, I planted the rose into the garden in front of the greenhouse, not sure if it would survive. But later that first year, it had a few flowers, and since then it has grown bigger and better every year. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year, this rose became a conversation point with the neighbors on whose property line it resides. It had a HUGE cluster of laser-bright flowers that likely was visible from the space station. The neighbors struggle to appreciate the messy chaos of my gardens, but this rose\u2013they could appreciate this rose!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
