This was my second plant; the first was in a pot all its life, in dappled sunlight, and just died, one cane at a time, even when I moved it into a sunnier spot. This one was in a pot for a few months and then went into the ground this spring, in full sun, and almost overnight just kicked the bucket. It's now a charming brown-black set of twigs.
Clearly, I'm doing something very, very wrong for this rose. I love the coloration, but I think I need to give it a rest for now. Maybe in a few years, I'll try again.
