Mother's Love has the most perfect foliage of any rose I grow. I would happily grow it for the foliage alone. Deep blue-green and flawlessly healthy in our blackspot prone climate.
The coloring on this rose is so unique. It looks like soft peachy pink with a hint of soft yellow at the base of each petals...but the surface is not a flat color. The rose almost shimmers, as though it had been sprinkled with fairy dust.
The form of the flowers is excellent, but it doesn't tend to hold after cutting from the bush for very long. On the bush, the blooms will last much better. The foliage will mildew with the right conditions.

Mother's Love is on our short list to get because of photos we have seen and descriptions read. Thanks for commenting.
