With large blooms on long stems that are perfect for cutting, the bush should get to be 6' to 7' tall. Known as "perpetual" because it reblooms, this one has a lot going for it; disease resistant, hardiness (zone 4!), fragrance, fully double 3" blooms.

As soon as I sat down there was a whisper in my ear. To those who admire and collect roses, the name Sean McCann is familiar; to others he may need introduction. I think I was the only person there who was not known within the rose world.

No one, including roses, wants to be beaten to death by hard winds. This step will help you visualize the garden before actual work has begun. Her many movies, television appearances, photographs and recordings are all we have left of her now.
