"Sterling Silver" has soft lavender flowers and fragrant scent. The "Sterling Silver" is recommended as a greenhouse rose. It has a lack of cold hardiness, lack of vigor, stinginess with bloom production, and susceptibility to the usual diseases that make this rose a weak candidate for the garden. Gardeners who live in dry climates where temperatures are not prone to cold and hot extremes do report success. "Sterling Sliver" is recommended for gardeners who are prepared to pamper the rose. More dependable roses which may be appealing for purple or lavender are 'Angel Face' and 'Blueberry Hill' |
