This plant arrived trimmed back and ready for planting. It now resides in a large container. One week after planting she was covered in leaves. On the third week she sported a bloom. This rose, at this point, is phenomenally healthy and promises to be an exceptional performer. Though only a single bloom appeared the flower was absolutely beautiful and extremely fragrant. I’m expecting this rose to be quite a performer.

I have ordered this rose when we lived a little further north and it was lovely but small. We planted this lovely beauty last summer and she is already triple the size of the one we had in Atchison. Now, in Wichita, all of our Heritage roses are flourishing. She currently has about ten blossoms and seems intent on being beautiful all summer long!

I amended my soil just as directed by HLR. Within three weeks I had beautiful single white blooms with maroon stamens. Amending the soil is the key. I also placed a ring around my planting area with plastic edging which elevated the planting area by four inches. I topped the planting with landscaper's mix and then pine bark mulch.

The rose is like the music that Jacqueline du Pre played, it's also like the cellist herself, so fragile and subtle. However, the rose is more vigor than the cellist, It continues to give beautiful flowers in the severe weather of Texas. Absolutely my favorite!
