Rose bush arrived in perfect shape. Can't wait to see her bloom in the spring.

And smells very romantic. It's like a subtler rose scent bjt still strong. Floral but still sweet. I can imagine a perfume like this would be expensive. I had one in another climate that still blokmed despite having too much shade. I gave it away to a sweet friend and moved. I bought a new one for the new house. Here, it took a few weeks to put out eight buds and start blooming. I stuck it in a pot and then replanted it in my front yard a few weeks later in the ground, during a heat wave, full of buds. I gave it some extra water and it remains unphased and blooming. 9b California.

Bolero is just a beautiful gem! I have two in my tiny cottage garden. Not only is it a lovely soft white, but the fragrance is a wonderful old fashion rose. It engulfs the essence of the true rose fragrance. I have about thirty roses and Bolero is one of my top favorites.

2 x 2 hole, manure, good garden soil and some worm casings. Zone 6. I planted 5 roses around an old tree stump in mid April 2023. All did well, but the Bolero was the first to show life and and never stopped. A surprising number of blooms in the first year. Heavy spring rain, summer heat, didn't bother it. All its leaves looked healthy until freezing nights right before Thanksgiving. Looking forward to next year.
