I don't know why this rose isn't even more popular. One of the last AARS roses before the system fell apart, maybe it didn't get as much attention. I haven't been able to find it for a couple of years. After surviving in my garden despite no winter cover (in MN) and terrible neglect while my spouse gradually wasted away, practically covered at times in weeds, it finally succumbed. When things were better in my life, I couldn't find it any more. What a great and consistent and healthy bloomer it had been. I hope the new one is as nice.
