That really is a healthy looking standard. You must definitely post a photo when it is in full bloom.

I certainly will...I am a relative rose novice...so is that what they are called...standard? Thanks for any education you can provide me.

That looks wonderful. Our Lowes has never had such good looking roses!

Fantastic.

Densiemill, I don't know what the general term used in the US is but in South Africa we refer to roses grafted on a stem 'Standard roses'. Here in Switzerland (German) they are referred to as 'Stammrosen' which directly translates to 'Stem Roses'. But I have heard the term 'Tree Roses' quite often so you are not wrong.

I finally caved in and bought one of these from Lowes. I spotted a Scentimental/Honey Perfume and couldn't help myself. I haven't had one in years.

kublakan I went back today to two Lowes but there was only that one and I passed on it because it didn't look healthy. I may go back and get it tomorrow though as that Lowes has all roses at 50% off. This addiction is not good...I should find another Lowes to see if I can find the Royalty/Bolero one

50% off roses? What city did you say you lived in Densie? lol.

BTW, if you have a Walmart close by, check out their garden department. I found that combo (Royalty/Pope John Paul II) as a double grafted bush.

Thank you. Atlanta suburb so the sale may be coming your way soon :)
