This beautiful rose came to us by accident, but now that it's in the patio garden we would be loathe to give it up! The neon quality of the blooms is the most striking feature of Country Dancer. Borne in abundance, the blossoms glow against healthy foliage. Growth is vigorous and spreading. Individual blossoms don't last long, but there is always a fresh supply of roses coming on. Hardiness is the extra ingredient that makes Country Dancer a real winner in the garden!
