I put the rose in a container and it stays compact. It does not like mid Atlantic summer heat so it barely has any flowers in the summer. But in spring and fall it will continue to bloom even until November. Very thorny and barely noticeable fragrance. Flower is big in cooler temperatures and range from pink, apricot to white depends on the sun light it gets. Love the fact of changes in colors, it provides additional fun during different seasons.
Only a month old in zone 5 and I’ve already had 6-7 blooms. It’s very healthy and happy in its new location sending out new growth. Love the bloom shape and the color even more.
Color changes rapidly from newly opened to the point of petals falling.
I bought this rose expecting it to be very Fragrant, being named Bliss Parfuma. But it was only mildly Fragrant. In the first season I wasn't impressed with it. But after a year in the ground-- a night-and-day difference!! This past spring the bush shot up and produced a huge flush of scented apricot-pink cupped blooms up to 6 inches wide. The shrub is healthy , vigorous, and disease-resistant, and always has roses in bloom. It's 3 feet high and wide but approaching 4 feet now. I have 3 bushes planted together and it is a stunning sight. It has big foliage and flowers for a floribunda, too. I highly recommend Bliss.
