Bolshoi
This rose is actually one that I had gotten when I was experimenting with root stocks, it was an own root rose. The original bush never did very well but its vibrant colors warranted grafting and growing on fortuniana. Has medium flowers that are smallish in the hot summer temps but the colors it adds to the vase in the spring and fall are worth the garden space. Has a sweet fragrance as a bonus. This one would be on my favorites page.
