For me, its hardiness out here, color, and fragrance have always made it a favorite, and this year I used it on almost everything.<br /><br />On the other hand, Midnight Blue is failing miserably for me. The plant is weak (maybe it's just my plant...) and the flowers can't stand up to the high-country sun. I might have a couple of hips when using it as a pollen parent, but if I recall correctly it didn't set hips of its own this year. What am I doing wrong? (Maybe I need to make cuttings and get it on its own roots?)<br /><br />Beautiful rose! Can't wait to see how it matures.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
