'Anne Watkins' rose Reviews & Comments

This is a very nice rose which I have grown for the past three seasons. My bush started out as a very small own root plant but is starting to really take off this season. The blooms have great form in a very nice color. When the flower is dried, the color darkens to salmon pink on the outside and apricot on the inside. It has gone through two zone 5a winters so far with just leaves as a cover. Wish more people would grow this one.

I also believe this is the same rose listed as Anna Watkins in the 2009 ARS Handbook for Selecting Roses.
