I was curious about her too, but then i found this thread and it kind of faded away.

Also a few other people had mentioned on these forums that the center gets dark very quickly giving it a yucky look, and that the flowers tend to have trouble opening. Sadly...I dont think it compares very well to Cream Veranda, which in my opinion, is a much better rose in every way.

Thanks. I wonder if it would work better in my climate z5b. I have several Cream Verandas and want to try something different. Maybe I'll have better luck in my neck of the woods. I have Pompon Flower Circus and the flowers are pretty decent. I didn't have the issues of the flower failing to open so maybe the slightly cooler temps here make a difference.

It sounds like from the advice on the other thread that SoFl posted that Blush Veranda needs plenty of sun to avoid some of the odd centers that PrettyPetals posted. In general I love the veranda series from Kordes and I'd like to try this one. There aren't enough roses that are truly hardy in zone 5 and our summers get plenty hot enough to give her what she is apparently looking for. I love Cream Veranda too Sharon and I don't get the problems others have reported with her, so I feel confident in trying Blush Veranda.

Thanks Cynthia. I have Cream Veranda, Jolie Veranda, Pompon Flower circus and Lavender Veranda. The only one that struggles through the winter is Lavender. I think I'll try this one next year. I'm really running out of room and money!

I just heard from Pat at RU. All of her Blush Veranda are sold. Now I have to wait till next year!

is this flower fade to green color when spent??? i have one like that, i wonder whether its a same flower

dedaunan- this might be flower circus pom-pon. I have two of these and they do have the green outer petals and a "flat" form.

Wow that’s lovely !

ahh... Thank you Sharon

Enchanted, how are youe blush verandas doing? Do they get BS?

I don't know yet. It's still a bit early here for black spot. They don't seem very vigorous though but I have had two blooms so far. The flowers a bit ordinary though, not a nice blend of colors like Earth Angel or Flower Circus PomPon. So far not much of a "wow" factor.

@enchantedrosez5bma Hi Sharon! Where did you get the Pompon Flower circus? I tried to get it from Palatine roses but it's out of stock so quick.
