For some reason this Morden Fireglow rose bush thrives in my perennial flower bed. All other varieties other than the hardy Hansa Rugosa have died. Some didn’t made it through a winter and others grow for several years before dried thorny branches simply won’t yield a single green leaf. I had to part with two Purple Pavers this year, replacing them with dependable Hansa. Four years old, this gorgeous fireglow is flowering and producing new shoots daily. I won’t question why, I simply rejoice it in it’s beauty and enjoy the fact that it is still alive and happy.
