HAVE: Mature Ballerina Rose

15 years ago

I live south Austin and have a mature Ballerina (antique rose) to give away. I don't need to trade.

Have owned this rose for the last eight years. It's just not happy with our poor soil (caliche), and I can't seem to make it happy. It is always chlorotic but has lovely blooms.

Now (winter) would be the best time to move it. You will have to dig it yourself. I'd estimate the rootball to be between 16 to 24 inches in diameter.
