My local garden center had a huge fall clearance sale in October 2009 that included 50% off roses. Like I could resist that. I went on the first day of the sale at opening and two hours later came home with four roses. This was one of them. I found it just by browsing. The coppery flowers are gorgeous. It doesn't have as strong a smell as I usually like my roses to have, but... the color won me over. And it does have a pleasant smell even if it's not that strong.
The lady I met at the garden center and shopped through the roses with would have taken this one if I hadn't. :) When I said I had the only one on my cart, she said, "Good girl."
So far it's doing nicely. I like that the flowers are holding their petals for a good long while... the blooms may have aged, but they still look good.
