rosa 'Pierre de Ronsard'
This rose is flowering beautifully this year. The buds are creamy white and usually appear about the time of the sap sucking thrips. Thrips will settle on anything white including the washing. The flowers, lots of them, have developed and bloomed between any possible invasion of thrips or aphids. The aphids have been over on the crabapples. The plant is suppose to be disease resistant, it is just not pest resistant. The outer petals are a little rain damaged but it is the rain that has helped the wonderful flowering.
