Wow Dan. That is gorgeous!

How long have you had it? Where did you find it? TIA

Another WOW! Lovely.

I, too think more info in need on this beauty.

Thanks everyone. I got it from a friend earlier this year. From a cutting, it seems to be rather weak on it's own roots, I would like to try it grafted.

I guess that's the only way to obtain some of these older beauties.

I'm guessing in CA the own roots that are not too sucessful in colder areas will behave as a moderate grower? I have one (HT) in the 2nd year and it's about 12 inches high.

Anyway it's beautiful and I hope the cutting produces a good plant.

irisgal, the only own-roots that have done well for me so far are Mister Lincoln, and Gemini. Every other own root I've tried grows so weakly.

Good to hear Mr. Lincoln does own root well. The only one I have is Bella'roma and altho it's not blooming this summer (rooted last summer) it looks healthy and branches decent size (not fat enuf to call canes). Good luck with Vino.

Wow... been a long time since I've seen this rose!! I believe I had it at one time yrs ago from either Vintage Gardens or Michael's Roses. Didn't do very well as I recall. Yours is beautiful, Dan!!

Thanks Beth, I was told it'd be a weak grower too. It's too bad because the color is so nice.
