The Lovely China Rose 'Archduke Charles'

I grow an own root one in a 15 gallon Water Wise Container Garden made from a modified plastic laundry detergent barrel and give it primarily water from my  one gallon outdoor solar shower and kitchen graywater. Both visitors and I swoon over the perfume. In some ways it reminds me of an improved dwarf form of the Mystery Rose "Pink Cracker Rose". My plant came from Chamblee's in Texas....great folks. See data below at the great site HelpMeFind.   John

    For me it might tie with 'Cramoisi Superieur'. John

    CS in my area (NC) gives a huge fragrant burst in spring;then defoliates and remains leafless until the following spring. Sadly, it had to go.
