Joan's Rose Garden

I was privileged to know Joan. I worked with her in Summer Stock in Fayetteville NY.when I was 16 and we remained friends to the end. We visited Joan at her home in Carmel in 2009 and she had an amazing rose garden on a slight hill on the right side of her home. Joan said, " You know the one rose I have trouble growing here is The Joan Fontaine Rose ", go figure. I miss Joan.

An OUTSTANDING rose!!!

I bought this rose last year (2023) after seeing some pics posted in a rose group. I received a nice plant and planted in a prime location. It did well in 2023 and I was pleased. In 2024 it started blooming in the spring. AND NEVER STOPPED!!!!!! Since it started it has had AT LEAST 1-2 blooms on it at all times in addition to the regular flushes of blooms. This is an incredible rose and I can't wait to see what happens the third year! Also disease resistant (primarily blackspot in my area). Southern TN, zone 8a.
