A couple of the REFERENCES say it repeats, so I have changed it to "Blooms in flushes", but Jay-Jay, I am not certain if that is totally correct in that it may only repeat in autumn.
This is the only rose (out of more than 200) that I have ever had show 'proliferation'. It is quite unattractive. Does anyone have any information on how common this is with this particular rose?
The rose has so many buds on it that I think I will just go out and clip out/off the proliferated ones and see what the next flush looks like. I think there is still a reasonable percentage that look fine.
I just picked some of the proliferated flowers, and at least one of them has as many as 6 buds in the center of the main flower.
Ours which we bought from Weingart also had proliferation, a number of years in a row. We finally took it out and gave it to someone else, but want to replace it again.
