Desert Rose, Oh I didn't read that right I thought you had LC planted there instead of Quicksilver lol. I must need my eyes checked 😅 I agree QS is a good rose. Always blooming here. I have 2 grafted QS and 2 own roots. The grafted ones bloomed wel the first year. The 2 own roots took a few years before they bloomed a lot, regularly. It was sporadic at first. Here Lav Crush has a nice citrusy fragrance. Quick Silver barely has any fragrance. LC gets more black spot that QS during our hot rainy summer season. They are both good roses. The LC is much more purple with a pale reverse on the petals. QS is more Lavender.

I bought three at Walmart last year. I potted them all up and they grew well. Some of the areas that had waxed canes don't look so good now. But they all are showing new growth and two look pretty promising. It does repeat well. They were pretty purple here with whitish reverse. Very good fragrance. I put one on my picket fence. Sorry this is such a bad picture but it's all I have. This doesn't show the whitish reverse.

Well I hate to be a party pooper but my body bag Lavender Crush has been a total dud. Second year in the ground and it's still the same size it was a month after I planted it. Has been watered and fertilized three times this year and doesn't grow. Produced three tiny distorted quarter size flowers and just sits there. Gets BS and defoliates regularly. On one side is a huge Princesse Charlene de Monaco I planted this spring and on the other side is an ownroot bareroot Crown Princess Margareta I planted also this spring that is already 5' tall. LC is out of here next year and I will probably not replace it with another even if I was to find another. Body bags the end of August? It is in the high 80s low 90s here yet!

Sorry if all of you know this already...I saw a few more LC available at Reagan right now.
