Popcorn or Gourmet Popcorn?

| Could anyone tell me how to tell the difference between "Popcorn" and "Gourmet Popcorn"? I ordered "Gourmet" from a supplier to replace my poor bush that died when I tried to move it from one home to another. The small plant I received seems similar to the one I had but the leaves are lighter green and not glossy like the ones that were on my deceased plant. The flowers seems to have a few less petals. Could I have received a mislabelled plant or will this small plant change as it gets older? Can anyone help?

| I have a young Gourmet P. from Weeks Roses and it definitely has much smaller blooms, leaves, and clusters than I've seen on established plants. Cheers,

| Thanks Michelle. I will wait this one out and see what happens. |

| I can tell you it won't stay small!!! Mine is 5'high by 4'wide. The leaves are a lighter green. |

| Mine is still a little thing. Probably building a huge root system before it marches on the rest of the bed and conquers all. :-) Cheers,

| My old one that died was about 3 years old and had reached about 3' x 3'. I'm hoping this one will perform as outstandingly as my old one. It sure seemed to thrive in our hot summers and cold winters. I'm in south central British Columbia. |

| Hi, I have had both. The Gourmet Popcorn looks more like a piece of popped popcorn. The popcorn looks like a single rose. Right now I have popcorn. I got it from Moore's in Visalia, CA. It's one of my favorite mini rose bushes. |

| This one certainly looks more like a single rose than my old gourmet popcorn did. That's what makes me think it was mislabelled. Right now, it doesn't smell as strongly as my old one either. |

Our Gourmet Popcorn
is 6 years old. It is 3 x 3 right now and will easily get 4+ x 4+ by season's end. The rascal was a tiny thing when we got it from Tiny Petals. We haven't grown Popcorn but understand it stays smaller.
GP isn't a stinker here. It has a nice fragrance but it isn't strong. I don't recall much fragrance at all the first year. How long has your GP been planted????? digger |

| Gourmet Popcorn is a somewhat larger sport (mutation) of Popcorn, and the blooms do have a few more petals. The foliage should be about the same on both. I grow Gourmet Popcorn and it is very nice in my area. |

| My GP has only been in the ground about 2 months. Its only about 8" tall so it is a young plant. I'm sure it will look different when it grows up a bit. Your photos are lovely. Isn't it a beautiful rose? My old bush have a marvelous fragrance which, on warm days, you could smell from a good 15 feet away. I hope this one does just as well. |

| How is your GP faring? Is it popping gourmet blooms out yet? In the last couple weeks, mine has started to look true to form. It's not a large bush yet, but the blooms are looking pretty sweet (finally!). Cheers,
Michelle |

| Mine is still very small. Probably still only 8 inches tall. The blooms still look like tiny little singles. |
