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,
Michelle

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,
Michelle

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.

I have one....waiting in it to get bigger....Love it though

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.

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?????

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.

Gilli, where in South Central BC are you in? I am in Vernon.

Hi Triple B. I'm in Kamloops. I have family in Vernon and I used to live in Armstrong.

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.
