| Positive | On May 21, 2010, colibri82 from Huntington, WV, I planted Ispahan 15 years ago. From the beginning it proved to be a prolific bloomer ( starting in early May and lasting into June). It's growth habit is incredible, putting out 10 or more 12'-15' new canes every year. My plant, which is grown on it's own roots measures 7' x 12' and that is with canes heavy with blooms arching to the ground. I remove canes every season and have finally discovered how this rose wants to live. |
