Jackson Perkins Midas Touch |
It is October 19...
October 19!!! This rose bush has grown larger, faster, and fuller than any other one I have ever grown. None of my mother's roses ever got this large. It looks like the rose bushes we see in Florida that have all year to grow. I hate that I am going to have to cut this down for the winter and cover it with a Styro-cone.

Hybred Tea Rose Midas Touch |
The trellis behind it is not because the bush is a climber...it isn't. It is a hybrid tea called Midas Touch and it has been in my yard for two summers, now. I use a Bayer rose food that is dry grains, a handful scattered around the base of the rose before I put the mulch on in the spring. That's it and I did the same thing with the neighboring roses. I have NO idea why this one took off so much this summer, or if it will do it ever again.
