My best Kordes roses thus far are the, 'Three Musketeers & One,' being:
1. Quicksilver... for its heavy petal count, great repeat bloom (especially for a climber), large bloom size, black spot proofness, long lasting blooms, heat tolerance, and rich lavender color, especially in cool weather.
2. Earth Angel...intense fragrance, great 'bush' presence, long lasting blooms, black spot immunity, heat tolerance and charm.
3. South Africa...beautiful bloom color, a vibrant golden yellow, abundant bloom, great vigor, and black spot immunity.
4. Bliss...vigor that amazes, strong fragrance and black spot resistance.
They all have faults though, but not out weighing their assets.
