Louisa Stone was new to my garden this year. We had a record dry summer, and in my no-spray, no water garden, she still was a fabulous rose. In spite of being a new plant, I probably got as many roses off this rose as any other in my garden. She's still blooming, in spite of a few days of freezing temperatures, and covered with gorgeous, absolutely clean red growth. Hips, too! A really fantastic plant for me so far.
