I picked this beauty up in a local garden center this year because my daughter had wanted one ever since she saw the advertisement in the Burpee catalog. It's a lovely shrub, lots of healthy new growth and a ton of flowers! This thing just keeps on blooming! Each stage of the flower is lovely from bud to full bloom. On my plant the colors definitely lean a bit more yellow than apricot, but it is planted in dappled shade so maybe that makes a difference. Also I don't find the petals sweet, to me they taste like spinach. But I'll throw them in salads to brighten it up, I suppose!

Make your cut just above a thick, healthy bud, as these produce the most vigorous growth. It can also be fertilized at this time with a granular rose fertilizer. The plant may be deadheaded if desired, but this is not required for continuous bloom.
