'Kristin' rose Description
HelpMeFind's future is in your hands - Please do not take this unique resource for granted.
Your support of HelpMeFind is urgently needed. HelpMeFind, like all websites, needs funding to survive. We have set a premium-membership yearly subscription amount as low as possible to make user-community funding viable.
We are grateful to the many members who have signed up so far, but the number of premium-membership members remains too small for us to sustain the current support and development level. If you value HelpMeFind and want to see it continue we need your support too.
Yearly membership is only $2.00 per month and adds a host of additional features, and numerous planned enhancements, to take full advantage of the power and convenience of HelpMeFind. Click here to start your premium membership..
We of course also welcome donations of any amount. Click here to make a donation. Donations of $24 or more receive a thank-you gift of a 1-year premium membership.
As far as we have come, we feel HelpMeFind is still in its infancy. With your support we have so much more to accomplish.

EXCELLENT.
ARS:
Red blend Miniature. Registration name: BENmagicExhibition name: Kristin
Bloom:
Red and white, red edges. None to mild fragrance. 27 to 30 petals. Average diameter 1.5". Very large, full (26-40 petals), borne mostly solitary, cluster-flowered, in small clusters, high-centered bloom form. Blooms in flushes throughout the season.
Habit:
Medium, bushy, compact, few or no prickles/thorns, upright. Large, semi-glossy, dark green foliage.
Height: 2' to 30" (60 to 75cm).
Growing:
USDA zone 5b through 11. Can be used for beds and borders, container rose or cut flower. Produces decorative hips. Disease susceptibility: susceptible to Mildew. Spring Pruning: Remove old canes and dead or diseased wood and cut back canes that cross. In warmer climates, cut back the remaining canes by about one-third. In colder areas, you'll probably find you'll have to prune a little more than that.
Notes:
This variety displays double white flowers, edged with carmine red. Once the blooms are at their perfect half-open stage, further development is arrested and the blooms last almost forever. Vigorous, compact and upright plant that has deep green, glossy foliage.
Justice Miniature Roses says this rose is a bright, cherry red set off against a chalk white reverse. It packs loads of substance for long-lasting cut flowers.
