I need to know if the Mr. Lincoln rose would be a good choice for a rose show in Portland Oregon. I only have a mini and 2 other roses that are in good shape out of 12 rose bushes as to my dogs urinating on them and chewing on them (yes I said chewing on them!) And I would like to know if Mr. Lincoln is a good rose to enter. Last time my mom entered the Mr. Lincoln they misplaced it but I feel I only have a small chance to win at least 3rd place with the roses I have this summer. I would also appreciate any future help if you want to e-mail me at [email protected] So if you have any tips on keeping ALL 12 of my roses happy and healthy and when to start and stop working on them I would very much apprechiate it!
