GARDENS CURRENT

David Austin's English Rose Graham Thomas. Current garden patio style in San Antonio, Texas. Spring bloom out they have plenty of phosphorus (the P in NPK) to push them on that was applied in late winter giving the plant time to absorb the element. This rose was purchased from The Antique Rose Emporium here in San Antonio. It is on it's own root stock and is now ready to propagate into two very nice plants with 4 canes each. It is wonderful in the spring - but later into summer it will blackspot something terrible. Even then it still puts up many blooms throughout the growing season. The bloom color will vary slightly from a rich orange to a softer orange.
