| Here is my one and only bloom of Francis Meilland, my one cane wonder. I hope I get more than this one bloom this season, it's a pretty rose. |

| Very pretty! I just planted it this year. Got it from Edmunds. Can't wait for her to bloom. Did yours get a lot of winter damage? |
|
| Mas_Loves_Roses - Thank you. I hope yours does good for you. I have this one and a Firefighter in the same bed and they are both growing slowly, but they look healthy. Awhile back I asked about them both on this forum and some people indicated that it is characteristic for them to be slow to get established, hope yours is an exception. It seems healthy, so I'll just be patient. I did prune mine quite a bit. I am probably overdoing it, but this has been so pretty at all stages, I want to show it off. I would love to have a full bush with a bunch of these beauties. |

| The color is indescribable! Well, I guess it is describable - but it has that extra something that bumps it into romantic! Gorgeously soft and romantic. I love it!! |

| I'm glad to see yours bloom. Mine doesn't have any yet and growing slowly, it's new this year. Have you found it to be disease resistant? |
|
| That is a very beautiful rose. |
|
| Thank you, Carol, Frenchcuffs and Inga. Frenchcuffs, so far it does seem to be disease resistant. |
|
| What a lovely soft color! |
|
| My big spring flush for this plant was two flowers. I got it from Reagan's March of last year. It better start doing something, because it's getting the stink eye for sure. |
|
| This is a very fragrant and beautiful rose. Thanks for sharing. |
|
| Here is my Francis Meiland |
|
| Kousa, that is so gorgeous! Looks like a Champion of Show to me! |
|
| Thank you Sara-Ann! It is very nice and encouraging of you to say so to a two year beginner. Along the journey, I have some hits and many misses. But it is getting better. :) |
|
| You are welcome, Kousa. I'm sure you are doing fine. To me roses are a fun adventure. I make more than my share of mistakes, but roses give back so much, that is why I enjoy them so much. Of course I know nothing about rose shows and judging roses, but that bloom is very appealing to the eye, it is beautiful! |
|
| Very lovely rose... for you! I got one last yr and it did absolutely nothing the entire season. This yr it did give me ONE bloom that promptly blew within a day or so. Not much signs of doing anything else yet. Very little new growth. If it doesn't improve by next yr, it's gone! |

| I have about the same experience as Beth, only that I did not get any bloom. My second year FM is a one cane wonder, and will be gone if it does not improve by next year this time. I keep thinking with that name, it ought to be a killer rose.... |
|
| I am not sure how it would perform in CA but it does very well on the east coast as I am in eastern PA. Farmerduck, if you are on the east coast, please give it a chance. It does a lot better after getting established and the blooms are so worth it. |
