Survivors

They survive and are beautiful despite neglect. Love singles, the leaves, and especially the hips.

excellent service

Zone 9. Own root rose arrived and soon I discovered that it was the rubra not the alba that I ordered. The staff at Heirloom roses corrected the mistake right away and the alba is growing and blooming happily. Happy to be a repeat customer.

Super WOW; super happy!

I ordered this rose on 4/1/17; it was shipped to me on 4/6/17 and arrived so fast I was still trying to hire someone to plant it.
This morning I found SIX fully opened beautiful blooms on it. Had not seen it for 2 days due to steady rainstorms keeping me in. Have not detected fragrance yet but the blossoms are unblemished --perfect.
Did I mention very happy! Looking forward to fragrance and hips.

Tough shade-lover

I got this last July and it showed minimal interest in thriving from when I planted it in a large pot through the end of summer and a pretty typical Long Island, NY winter (with no winter prep or care AT ALL). I mean, it didn't look dead, but it obviously is one of those roses that takes its sweet time getting going. Well, by mid-March, I could tell this was a happy rose that was ready to have a big spring and summer: pretty lime green leaves started popping out of the stems all over the place and now, in mid-may, it's getting some height and tons and tons of leaves. I'm not seeing any true canes or any signs of buds just yet, but roses really don't do much at all on Long Island until well into June/July, so this one is already ahead of the curve. I have it in a very shady location, in a large pot, and have only found a few aphids on it so far. Something is nibbling a couple of leaves and I have yet to identify the culprit, but the damage is very minimal and I'm hoping it was a one-time issue, since everything I've read says the rugosas absolutely hate being sprayed with anything. I can see why this is a good rose for the beach because the canes are super strong against wind. I have a feeling this is a rose you could put pretty much anywhere and it would find a way to survive. Can't wait to see it start blooming in the next month or so! Very happy I decided to try this one out for my very shady little garden :)
