I have a hard time getting a nice pic of Colette overall since I don't have her on a trellis. Her foliage is small, matte and uninteresting. Amazingly disease free for me without spraying. Anyhow, someone asked and this is the best I could do.

Wow!! I wonder if it was me that asked? Can't remember. I have Colette in a pot. It had tiny 2 inch flowers. I was very disappointed in it. Hopefully this year it will do better. If it looked like yours I would be very happy!! Obviously the bush wouldn't get that large here.

Thanks for the look!! Gives me hope.

My mom just saw this at a nursery and fell in love. I'll have to send her a link to your pic. Thanks for posting it.

Iris gal, I love it. Why are the prettiest roses not hardy?

I think this is an absolutely gorgeous rose. If I had to do it over, I'd probably plant her instead of Reve d'Or.

It's lovely, Iris, and so many more buds to come too!

It is horribly thorny. It grew like a weed at my cousin's on LI, but then suddenly got an awful disease and had to be removed.
