O, my luve's like a red, red rose,
That's newly sprung in June.
O, my Luve's like a melodie,
That's sweetly played in tune…
Robert Burns
And this rose is surely what the poet had in mind.
"Valentine's Day," new from Weeks Roses in 2006,
is a climbing mini-flora with canes 6-10 feet high, medium-size, deep red velvet blooms, and very dark green leaves.
It's a repeat bloomer which flowers the first year on new and old wood. Said to be ideal for fences, balconies (think Juliet) or trellises, and of course, valentines.
