To be honest, I recevied this rose as a gift and I had trouble the first year. I planted it exactly like it said to and it wasn't growing and certainly didn't bloom. I was getting very frustrated! Instructions were it didn't need fertilizing but I finally did fertilize and within the last couple of months it started growing a little. The leaves look very healthy and I noticed several buds! I was so excited! One is now in full bloom and other buds in varying stages of bloom. They are the most beautiful blooms I have ever seen. It has been worth the wait. I hope it continues to grow and bloom throughout the summer.

Truly a lovely rose, I have two I bought from heirloom (NY zone 6b). The flowers vary from cream to peach to sometimes some blush hues and last on the cane for a number of days. Minimal fragrance. But they are just decadent! While they can struggle with black spot it’s worth it! Stunning! Their colors change with the temperature and so many gorgeous ruffles!

First year-- not one bloom. Second year--an embarassment of riches! Ginger is a superstar!!

It took three years, but our ginger syllabub exploded this year, covered in beautiful blooms with a gorgeous orange/amber center. It has grown very full, but I am still waiting for it to climb. Amazing scent!
