Betty Harkness

Betty Harkness was my first purchase from Heirloom Roses. The plant arrived healthy and intact. I repotted and it has not stopped blooming! the color is prettier that the picture and it just glows every evening during twilight.
Thank you for a wonderful plant!!

In large planter box

I bought this rose last year and have owned it in the past. It’s a gorgeous color and has survived a Southern Idaho winter in our front planter boxes. The new spring foliage is thick and healthy. As a precaution I spray for bugs before buds begin to form and use fish fertilizer the minute buds begin to form. I’m going to add the HR mint compost this year as added protection. But right now it’s very happy and healthy as it was last year when I bought it.

Still blooming!

Betty was an impulse buy but I’ve never regretted my purchase! Her color is outstanding and the roses just keep on giving, it is among the last of my dormant roses that continues to bloom. The foliage is shiny and green. Completely disease resistant. I love my Betty!

Unique color, great fragrance

Glad I planted! It is not as disease free as the other Heirloom roses I planted. But think it just needs more time. Its first season it put out some small blooms and maybe next year more like the pictures.
