Hi Predfern: I asked people that question last year, and Stgal reported that it blooms at the end of a cane. Another person said the same: "OK except for the habit of blooming way at the top of the cane."

Mine doesnt bloom alot but the blooms are very pretty. I cant recall if it blooms at the end of canes or throughout the bush - the blooms dont come that often but its still a worthwhile rose, in my opinion, because I love the color.

Thanks for the info. I am starting next year's rose list. I am also considering Othello but my garden gets afternoon sun.

Othello has great fragrance but is extra extra thorny.

I planted 2 Pegasus own-root specimens in my garden around 2 years ago. They are now fountain-shaped plants, with arching canes around 6-7 feet long; the plant is around 5 feet high and 6 feet across. It is growing more widely than had anticipated, so I will need to relocate 2 Ruth Clements plants.

There are blooms all along the upper parts of the canes, where the angle of the canes change from 45 degrees to horizontal. The flowers are in clusters of 3-5 flowers each. This year the flowers are up to 4 inches across. I do not recall seeing any disease on the leaves of these 2 plants. The repeat is not as fast as I would like, but that may be due that fact that they are not dead-headed as promptly as they should be.
