Bewitched in full bloom

Even though it has been very hot and humid here recently, I am pleasantly surprised that this not very big Bewitched bush is in full bloom, even though the blooms are smaller than normal. For the most part my Bewitched roses have been dependable, with maybe a dozen blooms per cycle, I hope this trend continues, it's one of my favorites.

Looking good! I certainly wouldn't complain if one of roses suddenly burst into full bloom ahead of the others. : )

Should I let go of my Bewitched bush?

I also did that to an old, very woody Penelope this spring. It had grown up to eat a five foot block wall and was definitely in decline. The only way to stimulate new basal growth and rejuvenate the plant was through major amputations. It worked! I took the whole plant down to less than two feet, fed and watered it and it now has about four feet of growth all over the plant. I need to reinforce the attachments to hold it to that wall so I can begin training it back up there. Often, it becomes a kill or cure battle. You have nothing other than time to lose by trying to cure an already dying plant. Kim

HT Bewitched is a good cutting rose with form and fragrance, and a good rose overall. There is also a floribunda of the same name and color. You can look at the pictures on HMF and see which you have. A recently transplanted rose may have flowers that are temporarily subpar-- smaller, fewer petals, etc. Here is a link that might be useful: Various Bewitcheds

Very lovely. That's a rose I had when I first started growing roses yrs ago. Don't know what happened to it, but I really should replace it. I recall it being quite spectacular when in full bloom.

Wonder if that rose was named after the TV show?

I really like shots of entire rose bushes in bloom... Very nice!

Thank you so much everyone. Jim, I had never thought about that, but Bewitched, the rose was introduced during that era, 1967. That was one of my favorite TV shows as a pre-teen and young teenager

Beautiful! I love that pink! What a show yours puts on. I have a tiny Bewitched that I planted in too shady of a spot before I knew better but it keeps chugging along with a couple pretty blooms every now and then.
