I haven't had this rose long, but it has put out new growth faster than any of my other heirloom roses and has already given me two blooms within the first 10 days of planting! It has the sweetest little flowers; excited for the beauty it'll be when established.

Planted 2 years ago and this rose is covered in fragrant blooms from April to November in my Zone 8 Ft Worth TX garden. In my pic, my lovely white Darlow is up against the fence, Such a healthy, happy rambler!

I absolutely love every beautiful rose I’ve purchased from Heirloom. I got 2 of Darlow’s Enigma and they were no exception. Such healthy plants and outstanding customer service and care. Don’t hesitate to buy from them. Plus their website has a plethora of information and if that doesn’t answer your questions then contact their helpful team.

With this rose we’ve enjoyed fragrant wafts from the front of our house to our backyard patio when it’s full flush comes in May/June. It’s a show stopper and neighbors never fail to comment. Not as profuse as the first flush but its fragrance and blooms continue into winter. Fall season brings small to medium clustered rose hips as blooms relentlessly give in to winter cold. On occasion a few blooms have held on until mid December. Planted nearly 15 years ago when we were zone 5 we officially became zone 6 in 2023. Place this rose where you will enjoy its fragrance most but give it plenty of room to sprawl for low carefree maintenance or be prepared and dedicated to prune and train to your desire. It will require regular attention to keep desired size if planted near a structure. Don’t recommended but it will take abuse and neglect. It stayed in its delivery pot for nearly 2 years when received because of my unexpected health problems. It broke through container and rooted. Finally my niece helped me plant it in the ground. A few years later we moved it again to where we have enjoyed it most. It remains at the corner of our front porch where we regularly walk by or enjoy sitting with family and friends. The fragrance hangs under the overhang of our porch during that first flush then randomly throughout the season. I truly enjoy it even just coming and going from the front door or when i leave the front windows open. I’ve pruned it severely and trained canes in the direction I’ve desired making a semi privacy screen and beautiful backdrop to the front garden. One year a few canes graced the top of our roof but required anchoring to keep from flopping. It was probably about 17’. I’ve neglected it and allowed it to go in full bush and have cut it back to almost ground level. Roots do not travel as some very old ramblers do so it does stay where planted. This is one tough rose! It truly has been an enigma and the most enjoyable versatile rose I’ve ever had. Always a conversation piece! How could I not recommend? Get it!
