Was my first rose as a gift as it is my profession. Lives up to the description and I’ve had it for a couple of years. Consistent big blooms as long as it isn’t stressed by other means (rose slugs were an issue and I had a watering issue during hot months, my fault). Gorgeous rose!

I received Firefighter in late June, and by early August it had put out two large blooms despite our crazy weather (zone 6B). To say that the scent is incredible is an understatement! I could smell these two blooms from about three feet away! Overall, Firefighter seems to be disease resistant and fast growing. I do believe that I’ll have to order a couple more.

I have one in the front yard that grew quickly to at east 6ft tall and 3 or 4 ft around. Not diseases, not fussy just produces tomes of flowers, even after you bring a lot in. I was so happy with this rose that I bought another one in the fall. It grew to 3 ft right away. I trimmed it down in the winter, and now it is back to 3 ft. I also had at least 6 flowers that grew on it before I trimmed it. I am waiting for it to just take off. The smell of the roses are amazing also, as well as their color and the way they hold up in the vase, long after the other roses fade and fall apart. Well worth buying if you have the room.

I purchased one for the front/side of the house 9Have too many roses), and it is at least 6ft tall and 3 feet wide. This rose is loaded with roses that smell fabulous and last a while when cut. I had to get another one for the back yard. It was maybe a foot tall when it arrived but looked very healthy. Now a few month later it is 4ft to 4 1/2 feet tall and looks healthy. Already had several roses on it. Beautiful rose to have, if you have the space. Tones of cut roses for your vases all year long because it continues to produce flowers.

I planted this rose last year in the strip between my front sidewalk and the curb at my home in the Bronx last year. It not only survived a winter full of snow and freezing rain with crazy warm ups and instant freezes that sadly killed off 2 of my other roses, but being on the curb meant it also had to deal with salt and dog pee! It not only survived, but was the only one of my surviving roses that THRIVED during this summer's intense drought. I rarely watered it all summer because my hose doesn't reach that far, so I have to bring out water by hand and I got really busy. I'm so thoroughly impressed by this rose that really IS a fighter! And it's so beautiful, my neighbor with a big window that looks out onto my house would text me when people were stopping to take pictures of my roses with their cell phones because they're just so unexpectedly stunning on a city curb. Love it!
