This rose is called "The Imposter" because it looks like clematis. It is a shrub rose that always seems to be in bloom, even in it's first year in the garden. It has been disease resistant too. I highly recommend this one!

Introduction
I have a passion for roses. I've been growing them for over 20 years in San Diego, California. Most of that time I have grown popular varieties that can be easily found in nurseries, but the past few years I have been getting into less common varieties that I've found on-line. One of the best resources I've found on the web is a site called Help Me Find Roses (http://www.helpmefind.com/rose/index.php). You can search and learn about any rose, and users can post pictures which is very helpful when trying to see what a rose really looks like (can't always trust the marketing pictures).
I've also tried my hand at propagating roses from cuttings and even got a couple of plants to grow from seed. I thought a blog might be a good way to track successes and failures and share tricks and tips with other rose enthusiasts. Hope you enjoy!
