I planted this last year in Ohio, zone 6B. It overwintered beautifully and was one of my earliest blooming roses. The scent is light and fruity as described. The color perfectly complements the apricot, orange, gold, and blue in my garden. I love this rose.

This rose has really grown on me...I generally do not like roses that are not full and multi-layered. But this little rose is the one that COULD and DOES. It was the first to bloom when I planted them in the heat of the Texas summer last year, and it was the first to bloom this year and has had a steady stream of blooms for about 2 months now. It seems the color gets better and better...it starts out kind of a bluish pink and then turns more lavender colored. The plant itself is pretty too. I just wish it had more scent and made a better cut flower. OBTW...My mother likes this one best!

I planted this rose in early July in the worst of the Texas heat (I had just finished construction of my patio). It is now April of the following year and I have 2 very large beautiful roses on the bush. I may have to order another. The flower color is really unique and gorgeous.

Originally grown outside San Antonio (8b), where it sneered at heat and sun, now in a pot in N. AL (7a) where it is doing fine in summer heat/sun, and will be planted in the ground in fall. An outstanding performer for me.

I am in zone 8B, so. Ga. This rose is so gorgeous especially the color. I love that it is a shrub instead of the sometimes leggy, lanky shape of a hybrid tea. Wonderful colors like this rose has are hard to find in anything other than a hybrid tea. Hurry please and grow some more of this lovely lady! I NEED my own as I've been "sharing" one that a friend has. This rose does well in my zone.
