Oh, no it's not! This rose is special! I have always wanted to grow roses and everyone has always said they were too hard--required too much time and effort--spraying, fertilizing, etc. I do have "Knock Out" roses which grow themselves and I love them. While playing bridge at a friend's house one night I noticed a beautiful climbing rose blooming profusely outside her house. I picked some and took in for her to put in a vase. I told her it was too beautiful to be outside. When we left she said "take some". I did and when I got home I stuck it in a pot that was sitting by the door. Linda and I have watered it and watched it all summer. It lived!! And now it's blooming! I actually rooted a rose! I named it "Quent's Rose" because she said her husband had planted it there years ago. I have visions of mine being planted and "growing up" to look as beautiful as theirs. I'm not going to thank you Jean, but you get the message.
