Trying to search the forum for information on the rose ‘America’ was a test of my patience. lol
Its vigour, persistence and sporting ability seem rather amazing for a shrub/climber bred from two HTs. Has anyone grown it, Pearly Gates, & Royal America together? Some say RA has a differently-shaped flower, but I’m more interested in their comparative health and habit.
I’ll be trying to get hips on Pearly Gates this year, as I just rec’d RA yesterday by FedEx, and I don’t grow the original because its colour irritates me a LOT. Lol
There are several tall, healthy “America” in a local park here in northern Colorado. I’ve RARELY seen hips on them. (I didn’t answer your main question.)
