William Baffin Rose.......

I bought this rose in Grand Marais, Minnesota.  The garden shop was called the Blue Moose.  It sat at the top of the hill before you descended down into the town along the shore of Superior.   It is a tough rose that has taken many turns in its growing.  Too wet for a couple of years and it almost died.  Too dry last year and maybe there were three or four blooms last year.  This year the blooms are everywhere. It is big with lots of blooms and looks like I just planted in last fall.  The wet conditions though look like they are going to take out the leaves with a blight.
