Is this rose stingy for anyone besides me?? maybe she's rebelling because I have her in a pot...
The cooler weather seems to have brought out the dk pink contrast, wish this on was alittle bigger.
Does anyone else grow these? if so I would love to hear how they do for you. SuzyQ

| My SIGNATURE has been in the ground for about 8yrs and it's extremely stingy! Of course the bed it's in is seriously lacking nutrients, and I don't fertilize often enough. Maybe it's one of those kind of roses that does better if it's fed regularly. I dunno? As for HONDO... it does great and blooms quite frequently. That dk pink blush is there in all temps. In fact it's more intense in hot temps. |

| Suzy, I don't grow either of these roses, but they are beautiful blooms and photos! |

| I had both of the roses. I lost Hondo to that bad Easter freeze of '07. Signature suffered badly from that also, but it has tried to make a bit of a comeback. It still is not up to what it should be, but it did better last year. It also does not bloom heavily. Note that the flower has a higher petal count, and that effort that the plant has to make to form each flower can show up as lower numbers of flowers. Signature can be really nice, but I don't get that many flowers off my plant. |

| My Signature was extremely stingy the 1st 2 years. Now it is a heavy bloomer and has become a favorite. I gave it extra fertilizer and it really took off this year. Perhaps it has own-rooted itself, giving it extra vigor. Your pictures are very pretty! |

| SIGNATURE blooms a lot for me & has a pleasant, moderate perfume. If I could only grow one rose SIGNATURE would be it! Love your pictures and photos, SuzyQ. Thank you! Although this is old post I couldn't let your thread roll off the GW rose gallery, which it was it just about to do. I haven't seen you around for a long time & hope you are doing well. May I put your photo on my Facebook page? I will credit to you if you say yes. Take good care, hon. :~) |
