Beautiful and Robust Blooms

This rose almost died on me on its first years as I set it aside before planting for too long. I planted it in a huge and and kept an eye on it ever since and it rewarded me of huge deep red blooms. I'm not a fan of red roses but this one is so endearing and makes me smile all the time when I see its blooms.

True to Form

Doing very well her first spring here, Queen Bee is in a large pot and her deep red blooms are certainly stunning. Zone 7a and she is so far resisting the black spot that abounds. Very pleased with this performer.

First Full Year And Still Magnificent with No Disease

This rose is incredible. With an abundance of rain and a few broken cane's from heavy zone 5 snowfall, it came back stronger than ever with huge blooms. Looking forward to enjoying this rose for a long time.
