Zone 6B in SW MI in the town of Three Oaks. The petals look like a pink/peach shimmery nail polish, in the best possible way. This bloomed beautifuly after it had been planted in very late Spring and didn’t miss a beat! I honestly thought that there couldnt possibly be a prettier rose, and the 4 roses planted at the same time never matched the growth on this one. I planted mine in a container, and plan on buying more.
I want to propagate some cuttings next year. You will not regret buying this glorious rose!
I planted this rose 2/17/22 and have only had one bloom. Oh my, but that one bloom was worth it. Large and beautiful. Can't wait for more blooms.
I've had my Mother of Pearl that I got from Heirloom for a few years now and couldn't be happier with how it's flourished. It's as hardy as advertised (I live in Central Ohio where temps can dip below 0 in the winter) and black spot resistant as advertised as well. ALL of my other roses have had black spot issues because it's so wet in the spring here and then again towards the fall, but I've never had issues with Mother of Pearl. It's grown from a little one gallon pot to a 5 foot tall rose bush that I can't even wrap my arms around now and it blooms prolifically all summer and fall. Such a beautiful addition of my garden. Very happy with this choice.
It is so beautiful and perfect it is almost unreal. The color is gentle and has endless shades and hues during the different light patterns of the daytime. And at twilight it seems that the petals are glowing, giving back all the light they collected during the day. I've been growing roses for about 8 years now and thought I've seen most of what beautiful means. But this rose proved you can still be surprised and there is much more to discover in the wonderful world of rose gardening. Wish i could add a picture of it.
