I grow 75 roses, 27 different kinds in my zone 5b central Nebraska gardens. . Lady of the Mist is one of the top three. She has a uniquely beautiful color, a romantic cupped shape and petals packed into one incredible bloom that grabs my attention again and again. An abundant grower with shiny leathery green foliage and canes as thick as my thumb. even the rosy red thorns are pretty. The flowers retain a beautiful shape for a long time, and it lasts well in the vase. In the central plains we can have hot dry winds. The petals are thicker and resist wind burn. She has a nice fragrance, it changes as the bloom matures. We had a wet humid summer this year, very **** black spot. She’s just lovely.

I had to start this rose in a temporary location because I was waiting for some work on my home to be completed. Lady of the Mist survived her second transplant in a year, as well as -17 below temps last winter, and is looking very healthy. She has beautiful blossoms and I am anticipating next spring’s show.
