remontant
adjective • (of a plant) blooming or producing a crop more than once a season.
Just as I think the roses have given up on me and my slack approach to deadheading (you really have to keep on top of removing the spent blooms if you want to extend the show), another flower appears, making me feel at once grateful and almost entirely undeserving.
