My most prolific bloomer by far! Gorgeous foliage and he blooms constantly! Blooms last very long on the bush! Thorny but needs almost no attention! Love him so much!!
Leonardo has been amazing in my garden. I’m in a humid climate, zone 7b, and have heavy, often soggy, somewhat alkaline clay. This rose is fine with all of it. The leaves are clean and healthy, and the flowers are absolutely gorgeous. It’s one of my favorites.
High desert 5700 ft, zone 7a:
Leonardo does very well for me in mediocre soil and mostly neglected except for irrigation. This is the third year for four Leonardo plants and there are some octopus canes, like it's really a short climber. This I don't like, but I hear that with age this goes away. I'll give the plants a hard prune this coming winter and see if that helps.
The first year the flower and buds were deformed and weird. The second year they looked more normal but I didn't get many. This year's spring flush is just wrapping up and it was absolutely abundant and glorious.
I love the color, it's not salmon in my climate, it's a very balanced warm pink that would go with many other colors, a kind of universal donor color, as long as you like bright. I have a spot where I can see both Flamenco Rosita and Leonardo at the same time, and Leonardo seems a little cooler than the watermelon-cherry pink of Flamenco (which is also amazing).
Absolutely love my Leonardo Da Vinci rose! Lots of blooms, long lasting and just gorgeous.
