Nate - I would say once we have the full heat of summer, no. Curiously, the very full-petaled roses such as Crown Princess Margareta and William Shakespeare 2000 seem to retain the petal count, while the fewer-petaled Wollerton Old Hall becomes a semi-double.
That rose is beautiful, whether shown in sepia tones or full color.
ReplyDeleteIt is turning out to be a very special rose :)
DeleteAmy, do any of your English roses produce nearly-full-size blooms in summer??
ReplyDeleteThanks, Nate

DeleteHunh...thanks Amy. I'll keep on dreaming the impossible dream of a springlike rose garden in the dry heat!
Deletesuch a gorgeous rose - so many petals!
ReplyDeleteShe's a real beauty -- one of the most richly petalled roses I have... ;-)
DeleteSigh! She really is so beautiful!
