    Gosh, this rose is a bloom machine. When the spring flush comes around each spring and the roses set buds and they get larger as they get nearer to bloom, there is no mistaking which shrub is Greetings. The buds just about take over. Once the bloom starts, it goes on for a very long time. Flowers are small, but there are so many.
