Positive hortensia On Sep 14, 2005, hortensia from Langley, BC, BC (Zone 8b) wrote:

Although referred to by one vendor as "charles de mildew" this rose never stints on its yearly production of flowers. It remains compact and aside from the mildew, which plagues it most where the air drains poorly, is imperturbably healthy. The flowers are a wonderful shade of red more genuinely wine coloured (think of the ruby red of cab sauv or an aussie Shiraz) than the purply colour usually called wine, and as they age take on the usual gallica motley purple & crimson fading to lavender & mauve -- a much lovlier phenomenon than that description conveys!!!

Many people refer to the flower's unique shape -- it really does look at one point as if each flower had started life as a ball which was then sliced perfectly across the middle..
