sterling silver!

10 years ago

Sterling Silver, planted from bareroot fall of 2011. First blossoms of 2012. Angelface in the background.

This is my first time posting here so I look forward to meeting other Rose aficionados and learning as much as I can. I have been in Texas for 7 years now.

I have been growing Roses for about 16 years and was formerly a Landscape Contractor in California.

My Rose garden is my pride and joy and I love how many compliments I receive from my neighbors.

    This is the best purple rose in my opinion, though it can be a little finnicky to grow, not the most vigorous, and a bit stingy on blooms. (I am well familiar with all the other purple options: Neptune, Blue Girl, Sweetness, Lagerfeld, Lady X, etc.)

    This rose can get just as blue in hue as any of the others.
