Healthy and full of potential

I got this because my husband is a firefighter. 🩷 He arrived healthy and has taken off since being put in the ground - lots of new and vigorous growth. He even made a small bloom when he was still a little guy, so I am so excited to see what he becomes. Even in this early development, his little bloom smelled lovely. I feel he will be just as beautiful and spectacular as the other roses I have gotten from Heirloom.

My Favorite Rose

Firefighter is big on vitality, scent and blooms. It's color is beautiful and the scent is heavenly. Wish I could describe it, but, if scent is important to you this rose is a must have. The blooms are gorgeous with a wonderful shade of red and they last well in a vase. When I have them in the house the scent waifs as you walk near them. I forgot to mention it's healthy. A touch of black spot now and then, but, it doesn't harm the plant.

Zone 9b

Was my first rose as a gift as it is my profession. Lives up to the description and I’ve had it for a couple of years. Consistent big blooms as long as it isn’t stressed by other means (rose slugs were an issue and I had a watering issue during hot months, my fault). Gorgeous rose!

Amazing scent!

I received Firefighter in late June, and by early August it had put out two large blooms despite our crazy weather (zone 6B). To say that the scent is incredible is an understatement! I could smell these two blooms from about three feet away! Overall, Firefighter seems to be disease resistant and fast growing. I do believe that I’ll have to order a couple more.
