According to site Rogersroses.come, ‘Country Lass’ is a synonym of ‘Baby Blanket’, a shrub bred by Kordes as well.

Thank you. I confirmed the synonym in MR 12 and merged the plant pages on HMF.

This is the second year with BB. It has proven to be a winner for me. It is planted on a slope in a rock garden. It always has blooms and the shading of pink changes as it blooms. The blooms last at least a week and don't blow sloppily. Very happy with this low growing ground cover rose in my zone 5 rock garden. I also have a BB standard.

I saw BABY BLANKET as a 36" tree at Summer Winds
Nursery in Mtn. View, CA. I can attest that it is a
major bloomer, and the color is simply lovely! The
scent is very faint . . . but its appearance in the
Calif. garen is a constant delight.

Baby Blanket is one of my favorite roses-- It is a tough baby!. It always shows up well in the garden as it nearly always is in bloom . It quickly sets up a new flush of blooms after the old ones have quit. It blooms late into the fall. It is very disease resistant and tough. For beauty's sake only, I spray once in a while when I feel the plant may be stressed by too much rain.
The oldest plant I have is one I purchased in-pot a few years ago at a nearby nursery. This plant is over 3 ft. tall and wide. The flowers are the largest this year, so far. I am interested to see how the plant develops in the future. I plan to add Baby Blanket in my future plantings. My garden is in zone 7 of N. C. -- The Vineyard Garden

Kristie.........
I don't know what zone you are growing your roses in, but if you are growing the rose in a colder climate, what you are describing is the process by which a rose goes dormant. The plant, depending upon its geneology, is genetically programed to move all of the nutrients stored in the leaves and canes and move them to the root system for the plant to survive dormancy.
If you live in a warmer zone, and do not wish to disclose your location on the Internet, please feel free to contact me privately at lyn@helpmefind.com
