Mrs. R.M. Finch
Polyantha
Origin - Finch, 1923
Parentage - Orléans Rose × Seedling
Color - Soft Pink
Foliage - Light green
Thorns - Moderate
Size - 3' - 4' h. x 3' - 4' w. (shrub)
Fragrance - Strong
Repeat bloom - Yes
Disease resistance - Good
Hardiness - Zone 6
The Name of the Rose - Named after the breeder's wife.
This little rose is what some refer to as a "do-er" - she blooms her little heart out even in the worst conditions. I first placed her in a raised bed in my tiny vegetable garden (I don't know what I was thinking) where she was soon engulged by the neighboring peppers and tomatoes. With apologies to Mrs. Finch, I moved her to a border where she could live with more of her kind. Now with more room to grow, she has developed a nicer form. The flowers are large, cupped and semi-double and occur in clusters. Effective in containers, along walkways or at the front of a border.
