I’m excited to share this first bloom of my “Double Delight” rose today. In the past my rose gardening was a failure due to mildew from San Diego’s lingering morning fog and excess water on the leaves. Despite my past failure I decided last month to buy three varieties of rose bushes and plant them in containers instead of on the lawn. For the microclimate here in San Diego this is proving to be a far better method for growing roses and is working beautifully. It’s not hard to guess that I am in LOVE with being a rose gardener now. The fragrance is phenomenal, the form exquisite and the color romantic. This is nature at its best.
Here is a little information on the Double Delight:
First Bloom: Double Delight Rose
→ USDA zone 7b-10b
→ Hybrid Tea
→ Registration name: Andeli
→ Height: 3-5′ Width: 2-5′
→ Container Friendly Rose
It’s not too late to buy one of these rose bushes at your local nursery. For an incredible old-fashioned cut flower this one is a winner!
