I could not figure out how to add a reference to a rose so I am sending along this info so you can add a Pink Meidiland to the references tab for that plant. If you email me, I can send you a list of the other roses referenced and which page they are on.

I adore this darling rose. It blooms quite well through the heat and the flowers are pretty at a distance or close up. When I got it, I was not experienced with roses and let it shoot up several tall canes. Both of mine took on an odd shape, with very heavy stemmed tall canes so that I have to lean them up against the fence. I would cut them back to make them into bushes but the tall canes look good from a distance so I keep them. If I bought another one I would know to keep it trimmed back into bush form. Just thought I'd warn anybody who gets one to watch it's tendency to grow into a tree!!!! I would like to hear from someone experienced with this rose to see if that would be the right thing to do.
