| Gorgeous, and not often seen outside of England. Your picture is perfection; it would also be lovely to see the whole plant. |

OMG. Rose perfection. I love it more than I love my Bouquet Parfait, which I did not believe was possible.

| Rosa filipe "Kiftsgate" x unknown hybrid found in the garden of one Mr. James Treasure. It is a massive rose - it killed my pear tree. |

It's worth a dead pear tree. It can have both of my avocados if it wants to live here.

| Renee, you are just hilarious! oh you are soooo keen! I wish I could think of such perfect lines such as what you said. The perfect and oh so accurate compliment in so few words. Just brilliant! I'd even think you were a writer by profession, lol! |

| I'm curious - how large is the bush, and how old? It is mesmerizing... |

| The original plant, raised from a cutting given to me by a member of our rose society, was rooted 10 years ago. At year 7, it had completely engulfed the 15 foot pear tree. I had to cut it down completely to the original trunk. At the time of drastic pruning, some of the canes were 20+ feet long. I just went out to visualise the are it used to occupy and measured it - it's about 20 foot wide by 15 feet deep. The estimated height was 15-20 feet. So, it was a complete monster. In the 3 years since I cut it back, the remaining trunk threw out enormous canes, and the result are trusses of blooms the sizes of which I have never seen before. Basically, the description is that of the growth habit of Rosa filipes "Kiftsgate" - i.e., not for the faint of heart. And do keep those nitrogen rich fertiser well away from its roots! |
