The "underdog" rose bush

Here's a curiosity for you:  a Google search for "underdog rose bush" or "underdog rose plant" will give no results found.   That will change not long after this post is published.  My candidate for an underdog rose aspiring to become a grown-up is one of my 'Queen Elizabeth' seedlings that now stands close to 2 feet tall and is finally showing some vigor.  The plant was "born" on April 7, 2010 and is now 6 years and 5 months old.  Congratulations to you, my little rose -- your photographs will now be on the Internet for everyone to see.


First bloom:  July 4,  2010
