Oh, they are such a lovely color!!! Beautiful. :)

Very nice! What a gorgeous cup-shape.

I could’ve sworn I told you they were darker than mine and I was jealous….I must be imagining things🤦🏻‍♀️

Oooo nice!

That's a beautiful picture! One thing I've noticed about Pomponella is that the color can vary. Sometimes mine is pretty pale and sometimes about like your picture. I've noticed color variations on hmf too. Where did your plant come from ? My variable one is from Palatine.

Oh boy are ever gorgeous!

Is this enough to put the Kordes naysayers in their place?

That's beautiful! I love the shape of the blooms. Pomponella is on my wish-list from Palatine. Do the blooms last a long time for you? I'm trying to get some longer-lasting varieties to balance some of my Austin's that shatter so quickly.

Mine came from Palatine. I've noticed that the colors are paler in the Summertime and now, as we head into Winter and the temps are getting cooler, the Pomponella roses take on a deep almost coral-pink color. The blooms last a long time. Also, I believe that it's marketed as a shrub rose, but I've found that it grows pretty tall here in my Zone 5 garden and can be grown as a small climber (6-7 feet). You can't go wrong with this beautiful Kordes rose!

Thank you for the info on her, she sounds like exactly what I'm looking for (long-lasting old-fashioned shaped blooms that come more than one per stem)

It's lovely and on my list for December. Based on feedbacks from Facebook groups, it would be wise to give it some room, it grows huge. It and Ascot.

& Friends,

Bellarosa & Palytoxin, Gorgeous Pomponellas! She’a a real winner! A must in the gsrden, Megan! How does yours look, Oursteelers?

My second year Fairy Tale Pomponella is now 5 ft by 6 ft ….. still filling out. I just pruned her a little for winter.. She blooms all the time! What a joy seeing her in my back yard!

I have seen her reach about 10 ft climbing in a friend’s Oregon garden with blooms all over! My Pomponella has only just begun, but by next year, 3rd year, I hope to see blooms all over and 6-8ft!!!!! Hope!

Super disease resistant and hardy, too!!!
