Rainy Side Notes
Rosa ‘Dream Weaver’ blooms all summer long. Here in the Pacific Northwest during a mild winter, it blossoms well into January. Each stem carries a bouquet of coral-pink roses; just cut a stem for an instant bouquet. The scent of the flower is that of an old rose fragrance.
This rose has proved disease resistant in my organic garden after it became established. It is a beautiful climbing rose; I would recommend for any garden, organic or not.
