Hybrid Tea 1984 Joseph F. Winchel
Orange/red - 35 to 40 petals
ARS rating 7.3
Verdict: Very good rose. Not as many blooms as her parents but worth having for the ones she has and the wonderful fragrance.
Acquired: 2001 - it usually takes a rose 3 seasons to get established with our short bloom season. Optimistic about 2004 for this stinker.
Brand:
Bush
Growth habit : The bush is planted in a spot that only gets sun until noon or a little later. Not particularly vigorous so far, Dolly gets almost 4 ft tall x 3 ft wide. Foliage is not sparse but isn't thick enough for a foliage nut.... yet, I hope.
Leaves:
Disease Resistance: We don't have much of a problem with blackspot here. Powdery mildew is the worst problem when we have cool nights and I try to spray fungicide every 2 to 3 weeks. PM hasn't been a problem with Dolly here. Never seen more than a touch of it on her.
Hardiness: Needs some protection
Blooms
Fragrance: Strong
Flushes: 12 to 15 blooms - large blooms with pretty good form.
Repeat: a little on the slow side - 6 to 7 weeks - may get better as the bush gets more established.
Vase life: Good - about a week
