I feel so honored ☺️

You’re welcome but also I’m a little baffled at these reactions; Ya’ll are making me sound like some tumblr celebrity or something lol.

I dug up my grandmother’s roses, I went three feet down and three feet to the side and just cut the roots because it was too bloody huge

Wow, now those are some roses.

I also suggest Above and Beyond! A hybrid of William Baffin and a yellow tea rose that has all the characteristics of the Canadian explorers but yellow and reblooming

If I ever get room for some more hardy large roses I’ll definitely consider it! Yellows roses and red/white striped roses are a weakness of mine!

On the one hand, that is a very impressive rose! On the other hand, our climates are SO DIFFERENT that it kind of blows my mind. Look. I had a hybrid rose at my childhood home–probably rootstock originally–and it grew straight up to the 2nd story and then 10 feet into the roof via a vent one summer.

It’s not just you Semi, I find the stark contrast from the climates quite amazing too. From literature I’ve heard of roses which would normally be tiny miniatures becoming SHED ENGULFING BEHEMOTHS in places like New Zealand. It’s amazing how different a plant can behave depending on the climate alone.
