This is the shrub rose Mlle Franziska Kruger. It was introduced in 1880. It is a winner! I took these pictures last week, and (although some of them are spent) as you can see, it has about 100 blooms on it. What is special about this shrub rose is - this is Texas! It's July! It's hot, damn hot! We're in a horrible drought. And yet here is this pretty, antique rose blooming its heart out. I have over 50 varieties of rose growing on my farm, and this one is superior to all the others. It is a prolific bloomer.Sunday, July 24, 2011
