Lawrence-Johnston Rose

In general, I'm not fussed on single type roses. This one is an exception...it has a wonderful fragrance, and I have a soft spot for the older type roses. It is a little hard to keep looking in top condition though, as you can see on the picture! Just remember to spray regularly for blackspot.
