I purchased this rose last year and planted it in a deep container using the Heirloom soil. It survived the intense Texas heat during the summer and flourished in the harsh winter with some temps in the teens and even a light snowfall! This was with NO care, as I was ill for a few months. I checked it and two other Heirloom roses I had purchased, and all of them are thriving now in March. This bush has 3 new buds on it! I'm thoroughly amazed and thrilled!
They had a rough time. I am praying they come back this spring. As of now, I've lost both of them. I may reorder when I live in another place i have more control over. Thank you.
I'm into a year of owning this rose it's done wonderful. It survived the cold snap we had in dfw texas winter. Only one cane was fully damaged from the cold the rest survived and grew no problem. Then it's been flourishing in the heat here. I've had continuous blooms outside of it's dormant season in winter. My blooms have personally been very vibrant instead of the soft lavender. Still pretty and present more purple in person.
This sweet little rose is absolutely beautiful. I planted her in a miracle grow potting soil, in a pot one my patio. Within 6 weeks she was growing vigorously and has given me one beautiful bloom and 2 more buds- after being attacked once by my chickens. A stunner for sure. And the fragrance is intoxicating!
