Deb,
I bought Pink Poodle last August and replanted it in one gallon container. It did not do anything last year, but after pruning this year it is going crazy. It has buds all over getting ready to bloom.
In fact it is doing so well that I would like to move it to a larger container, but don't want to disturb the bloom cycle. Maybe I'll transplant it after the first bloom cycle.

Mine's a couple years old, two feet tall and wide, and is a bloom machine. Great rose.

A sop to my sister, who wanted peonies (no way in New Orleans.)
I thought it would do fine in the little Chinese glazed pot it is in, but you folks have convinced me I'm gonna have to go for a bigger one. Dang.
It is a must have, for sure.

I just bought this one this year from Just Joey's -- I'm glad to see all the positive comments. Mine is growing like a maniac, but hasn't bloomed yet. It's still settling in, though, so I'm not worried.

Just a heads up for folks in the Los Angeles area:

A sizeable plant of Pink Poodle will be available in the Los Angeles Rose Society Auction at Descanso Gardens this Sunday, January 16, 2005 at Noon. Lots of other great minis and roses of all types. Minis and minifloras I have donated (all in 5 gallon containers) are as follows:

There are lots more donated by others. Check it out!
