Orange-red - 35 to 40 petals*

Unknown Parentage

Description

Verdict: Fair rose that just doesn't want to get with the program and be a star.

Acquired: 1998

Brand:

Bush

Growth habit : 4 ft tall x 3 ft wide - slow to start in spring and a slow grower. Foliage is good and thick.

Leaves: 

Disease Resistance: Blackspot is only a problem here on stressed plants. Powdery mildew is the main problem and I try to spray the roses that get pm with fungicide every 2 weeks or so when we have cool, dry nights. CS will get pm if not sprayed here. Not a pm magnet but it will show up.

Hardiness: Winter tender - I always protect it since Deb likes the rascal.

Blooms

Fragrance: Moderate to strong - spicy

Flushes: Always on the small side - 8 to 15 blooms - almost all look pretty good though

Repeat: Slow - 6 to 7 and sometimes 8 weeks - I only expect CS to produce a couple per season.

Vase life: Good - about a week
