It brought me to tears to see that you are growing Royal Amethyst again! It was hybridized and patented by my Grandfather, Paul DeVor. He named it in honor of the birthdays in February of myself and my Aunt Jeanne DeVor Marciel, a hybridizer as well. It is by far one of my favorite roses! The fragrance is very strong and delicious. It borders on lavender or even purple if in part shade. Love the color.
Put her in the ground November 1 and already have a bloom. Incredible for this novice! Zone 9
Took a couple of years but don’t give up - now rebloomer extraordinaire and each bloom uniquely striped! I’ve taken more photos of this rose than any other of my roses and had more compliments on it! One of my favorites for sure!!!
This Meilland rose is tough enough to live in Central Texas, and fierce enough to be healthy doing it! One of the parents of Jardin d’Bagatelle, her fragrance is exceptional, and with a bit of care she blooms well too.
I purchased this hope I'd find info for my roses. Putting it in the ground to read wasn't easy so thought, ok, a fail. I'd need to crouch more etc. Next year. In the interim I decided to use it for my inside palm that was looking miserable. The soil on top was dry, the meter agreed. I then read on the instructions, the meter needs to go deep. Wow, WET reading. I pulled the palm fr9m the decor pot a d an 8nch of water was therer rotting the roots. I put in fresh soil didn't water it and hope now it can come back. It already looks better in 24 hours. This is a good tool and I'm glad now to have it . It does take a minute to learn but as plant parents, that's what we do! It's worth having
Grew it for 30 years in Michigan zone 5. Transplanted it three times and it thrived in every spot. When I moved out of state my neighbor moved it again to her yard. Perfect, never a sign of disease or insect damage unlike all my other roses
Hardy, fast growing, fragrant. People comment on how showy she is.
Beautiful roses for our first home.
Third bloom since we purchased them in July 2024. 🌹❤️I can’t wait for hot cocoa to bloom just like Chrysler Imperial.
I think the 15-10-10 formula is key. I have used mostly organic fertilizers for the 200 roses that I take care of on our church campus in zone 8b in the Pacific Northwest. Sometimes I add iron or alfalfa pellets when the rose leaves look pale. I had 9 roses in a group that were not responding to my usual extras and kept their pale leaves and less blooming. They were Kaffe Fassett and Blueberry Hill- very reliable three year old roses. So I bought the fertilizer sold here by Heirloom and applied it at the end of July and the roses took off growing with lush green leaves and plenty of blooms. I have since then been buying the fertilizer during sales and storing it for my spring application. A rose expert friend of mine who helps me at church said roses need that extra nitrogen which is the 15 number on the label. Nobody else sells that 15-10-10 combo. This is the place to get it. There are also other ingredients in the fertilizer that more mature roses like. Definitely worth the money. One 8 pound container goes a long way as you use 1/2 cup per plant.
This is my favorite rose of all time of the hundreds of roses I’ve grown. I lost my two in a move and am heartbroken you are no longer growing it. Please bring it back! The fragrance is like no other and the dark lustery foliage makes it really special. Please grow it again!
🥀🥀A ROSE TO DIE FOR🥀🥀
VERY UNIQUE, VERY BEAUTIFUL
I HAVE BEING WAITING FOR IT'S RELEASE SINCE 2022. ONCE I FOUND OUT HEIRLOOM HAD IT I PUT MYSELF IN A RUSH TO GRAB 2. HONESTLY IS A ROSE NOBODY SHOULD SKIP.
I AM VERY OPTIMISTIC,..IS JUST SIMPLY THE MOST BEAUTIFUL. ACTUALLY I WAS A PROMOTER IN FEW SOCIAL MEDIA GROUPS BEFORE IT WAS RELEASED ON 2023.
Received in June, survived beatufily Arizona hit in the pot under the patio. And now six months later it is growing and blooming nonstop.
The rose arrived without any leaves. I wasn't concerned as I have received roses like this several time. It is interesting to watch how quickly they can start growing. I live in Florida so we have warmth all year. I am so looking forward to seeing this beauty bloom.
That’s my first rose from Heirloom roses and I’m so excited and happy. My Darcey looks so cute and has light sweet fragrance. I got it only a month ago and it’s already has blossoms 💕
Beautiful new addition to my garden. She is a baby but thriving and healthy. Excited to see what she looks like in spring.
This is my favorite rose I grow. The smell is strong and intoxicating, like rose water. This rose is very strong and drought resistant here in zone 9b. I don’t water it much, even in our 100 plus dry summer. It is only a couple years old and it was in bloom from the beginning of March to mid June.
She thrived in sandy soil w/only 3 hours of sun a day. Strong canes, delightful bloom shape & color, exceptional fragrance -despite the hot dry climate of Tucson. Extended drought combined with extreme heat over several years did her in. This has been my all-time favorite rose for these growing conditions. Buying again.
This rose is stunning! The petals are gorgeous and so is the color! Can’t wait for year two.
She’s been slow to grow but I just love her blooms! We will be on year three this year so praying she leaps
If you want an easy rose that produces TONS of hot pink flowers this is your rose.
The purple is so good. I love it in an arrangement!
She bloomed a beautiful huge bloom a month after planting! I’ve had her a year and she’s such a good producer and is super resilient.
This was her first year and she took off and is an absolute show stopper! The petals are amazing. Can’t wait to see what she does this year.
Eden is the honey badger of rose bushes. I was worn out when I got to planting her, so I just stuck her right in the terrible clay soil we have here in NE Texas. Grew like crazy. Drought, record heat waves, Eden doesn’t care and just keeps growing when all my other plants are turning yellow. Bought 3 more. Two thumbs up.
