"Martha Gonzales" , a found rose, identity uncertain.

"Martha Gonzales"
'Martha Gonzales' is one of those found roses, whose true identity is unknown. It was discovered in Navasota, Texas by Joe Woodward in 1984, and resembles the old China hybrid, 'Fabvier', which it may in fact be! No matter what its identity, this is a fine compact rose for a small garden.

'Martha Gonzales' is a typical China in habit, with twiggy growth, and smallish dark green foliage. The plant is almost always in bloom, and the foliage is quite disease resistant. This plant makes a very good low hedge, and is also a good rose for container culture.
