This rose has been a joy to have in my Rose Garden It gave us many beautiful flowers and the color is almost spot on.

I planted 19 roses from Heirloom Roses in 2023. My roses were in the ground 6/21, and I had my first bloom 6/29 (Marmalade Skies). By 7/16 (yesterday), all 19 plants have at least 1 bud - about half are actively blooming. One of my Earth Angel plants was two bare sticks when planted, and now is full of foliage with multiple buds. Everyone is shocked at how quickly and prolifically these roses are growing. All of the blooms so far have been small and the colors are not quite what they will eventually be, but this is to be expected. The more blooms each plant has, the closer to the picture they are getting. I cannot wait to see my rose garden next summer - and many summers to come!

I am in the PNW, zone 8b. I underestimated how large a 2'x2' hole was, lots of digging. I used the Get Growing Bundle with manure, mint compost, bone meal, and fish fertilizer. Mixed natural soil with peat moss and organic rose soil. Set up a drip irrigation system which gives plants 1 gal per morning during these hot months, will back off as the plants establish.

I love the color of this rose. It has such a gorgeous purple color. It constantly has blooms and isn't stopped by all the heat or humidity.

I expected purple but it’s magenta. No fragrance.
