We have a shrub rose in the front flowerbed that is almost constantly in bloom. We brought this rose as a cutting from a previous garden, and it settled in well. I'll be taking cuttings again--not that we want another, but other gardeners seem to want it. It has a very light scent, and although I dead-head as much as possible, it doesn't seem to mind a bit of neglect.
Jane,..that's the kind of rose to have another of,..definitely worth taking another cutting,..or two,..go for it,..big bush and doesn't need pampering.
