RoseShockwave™ (floribunda, Carruth 2006) most recent 23 JAN 09 HIDE POSTS

Initial post 23 JAN 09 by Marek Stepien

This rose was the biggest suprise in my garden in 2008. I planted 5 shockwave in a row leading to the entry of the house. It was admired by me and my friends through the summer and fall. Always covered with flowers. The yellow was very beautiful. It was fading a little bit, but still giving a beautiful color. It reminds me Julia Child. I will keep this rose.	REPLY

Feb 2007 at Home Depot in Bay Area, CALIF. I read the metal tag "GOLD GLOW" and the pkg label lists it as a climber?!? Last year it was labeled as a 'floribunda': As I am relatively knew to rose growing, I'm easily confused . . . ~kHAAS of Silicon Valley	REPLY
