So far, every rose plant I have received has been amazingly healthy. Got this one later in the season. Here it is middle of September and has two buds on it. Have to wait to see how it grows in the Spring 2027. So pleased!
If you like red velvety long-lasting bloom with fragrance give this rose a try. It does suffer manageable black spot in summer in zone 7B. Because it is vigorous, it will keep sending out new leaves and continue to bloom.
The rose plant arrived safely and in perfect condition. It had so many new shoots, which was wonderful to see. The planting and care instructions were very clear and easy to follow, so even someone who has never grown plants before could successfully grow these roses.
A huge thank you to the support team for your excellent service and help. I highly recommend purchasing from them!
I hate that sick feeling I get when I find aphids all over my rose buds and their leaves.
With twenty-eight rose varieties to contend with, it used to take me a lot of time, treatments, and vigilance to beat the aphids back. And then there were the other petal and leaf eating bugs munching away when the aphids were gone. Not anymore.
This year I subscribed to Heirloom's Beneficial Insect delivery service for five months beginning in May and ending in September. What a relief from spraying!
The Beneficial Insects go to work immediately, but at first, it may look like the aphids and other rose-eating bugs are still chewing down on the roses. Be patient because the roses will soon show that the Beneficial Insects are at work.
How do you know if the Beneficial Insects have done their job? Here is an AI overview for reference (and I visually confirmed this in my garden):
Beneficial Predatory Insects (Ladybugs, Lacewings, and Syrphid Flies):
• Nothing or minimal debris: Generalist predators like ladybug larvae, green lacewings, and syrphid fly larvae chew and consume the entire soft-bodied aphid.
• Empty skins or mouthparts: They sometimes leave behind tiny, transparent, or shriveled empty exoskeletons (cast skins), though voracious eaters often leave the leaf completely clean.
• Honeydew: Predators like lacewings and hoverflies often lick up the sticky sugary residue (honeydew) that living aphids leave behind on leaves.
Beneficial Parasitic Wasps;
• Aphid Mummies: When a parasitic wasp lays an egg inside an aphid, the developing wasp larva consumes the aphid from within.
• Crusty shells: The outer skin of the dead aphid turns hard, swollen, and crusty, often taking on a golden-brown, tan, or silvery-grey paper-like appearance.
• Exit holes: Once the adult wasp finishes developing, it chews a tiny, perfectly round circular hole in the back of the aphid corpse to emerge, leaving the hollowed-out "mummy" shell permanently attached to the plant leaf.
Learn about the Beneficial Insects and what their nests look like to prevent accidental destruction of the good bugs and their free of charge offspring.
Beneficial Insect nesting boxes can provide habitat, but be careful to choose a box made with quality materials. Heirloom offers a good one.
I am very happy with the results I have had with the Beneficial Insect subscription and I plan to sign up again next spring.
I love this rose so much this is a gift from my husband. It truly represents our marriage it’s lovely color and fragrance captures everything I want in our relationship lol. I’m being dramatic here but yeah this is how I feel about this rose. I’d buy it again tbh.
We ordered an additional **** Clark Grandiflora this past spring because of the success we had we a previous rose bush in our garden. This is a vigorous grower, especially for a first plant, reaching over 3 feet tall in its first year with lots of blooms!
We ordered 5 more of these roses after we had such good success with them the previous year. We plant them in both groups of 3 to create the look of a large shrub and alternate them along a row for a colorful palate. They thrive in our heavy clay soil, with proper amend ments, and the petals are a darker, buttery, golden yellow with slightly sweet fragrance. Our first year plants are about 2 feet tall in height while our 2nd year and beyond are approaching 4-5 feet tall!
We ordered 2 of these roses in the spring and they are doing great with great blooms and healthy green foliage in their first year. They are planted either side of a yellow Julia Child which compliments their copper petals nicely! At the end of the row is a Blue Girl with its lavender blue colors. These are perfect roses for the front row of a rose garden as they grow to about 3-4 feet in height.
We ordered 2 of these roses for planting this April and they have been great performers! Growth has been amazing and the blooms are beautiful and fragrant. They are planted in a row beside 2 Julia Child yellow roses to compliment their apricot petals.
We ordered 2 of these roses this past spring for our nation's 250th anniversary celebration and they have shot up like fireworks, growing over 4 feet in their first year with brilliant red and white blooms! Planted them either side of a **** Clark red rose with a Pope John Paul white behind them for a patriotic theme!
This is the first year for this rose in our garden and it is already blooming and growing like it has been here for years! The blooms are plentiful and healthy! our garden is heavy clay and after amended the planting hole according to heirloom's recommendation this rose is flourishing!
I ordered 2 of the Wollerton Old Hall climber this April 2026 to grow over an arbor just outside our garage door along the gravel path to our backyard flowerbed and their first year growth has been amazing! One rose has grown to about 5 feet in height and the other is about 4 feet with multiple canes and blooms appeared mid summer and continue. We are in the Upstate of SC in Zone 8B and in heavy clay but I prepared the planting holes according to The Heirloom planting video, going 30 inches x 30 inches. The Omnimeal and Fish fertilizer supplements feed them all they needed to ensure beautiful blooms!
QOS arrived on time and healthy. Her defoliation for transit helped and she began leafing out almost immediately after planting. She is in a planter in partial sun and seems to be thriving. I love to watch her grow. She'll be a beauty.
It's been a cold, misty, foggy, drizzly summer here on the California coast. ALL of my roses are suffering from rust, powdery mildew, and black spot. But this rose? Naaahhh! Its leaves are glossy and deep green. The blooms last seemingly weeks on the bush. It's truly my surprise, freaky wonderful rose. Maybe it should be named "Victorious" or "Superstar." I'm getting more. Unstoppable.
Sonya has been outstanding customer service staff ; friendly , responsive to customer complaint and helpful .
Overall Heirloom takes care of its customers . Prices are a little bit high compared to competition but balances it out in quality of customer service, and understands customers’ plight vis a vis dollar spent . So it is up to the customer in the long run to **** with them .
So less than a month after receiving my Highwire it has produced the most perfect hot pink bloom. I can’t wait to see how she continues to flourish!
What big, happy blossoms adorn this rose. She is truly a standout among many. She thrives in hot morning sun and afternoon shade. A real winner. Pollinators love her too.
I planted this in zone (5 or 6 depending on where you check) the first week of August and it gave me the first bloom 6 weeks later, and I noticed a second bud already growing.
I bought it because I thought it was pretty, but never expected it to be this huge! Blooms are 4” and stay in the plant for a long time. The deeper pink color dominates, and only the outer petals curved.
It has some fragrance. I can’t wait to see how it will do next summer.
Such a pretty rose and has large blooms, quickly! Smells amazing too
I adored everything about this rose. Once it took root in my pot it grew rapidly in a beautiful full form. The flowers are astonishingly beautiful in color and form. Sadly I had to destroy and remove a few of my roses due to the dreaded rose rosette taking hold. I sincerely hope they are rooting more of these because this was one of my top 3 favorite roses and I am devastated it's gone.
I purchased this rose on a whim during a sale having never heard of it before. I wanted something "different". I've had it for a year now and it has become one of my favorite roses. The leaves are dark, glossy and healthy. This is a very disease resistant rose. I live in a very humid zone 6 and I never have to treat this rose like I do it's neighboring plants. I keep this one in a pot. It is a vigorous grower and a bit leggy. I treat it like a climber and wrapped the canes around a pillar.
The blooms are what surprised me about this rose. They are single petaled, but of good size. They start off a very bright orange and fade to a pretty terra cotta color. They remind me a little of hibiscus when there are multiple blooms all at once. It almost looks like a tropical pant. Its striking. Also, there is a light but noticeable scent. Very fresh. This rose is a keeper. (My phone cannot accurately capture the color of these blooms)
Bough this rose last year in 2025. So far it's been doing absolutely well growing in my garden, and the blooms are exactly as pictured here on the website! The flowers are absolutely stunning, and the rose has been able to survive through winter and a harsh summer where I live in zone 6b. It's very hardy, and has been steadily growing ever since I planted it. The featured photo is it's first bloom in June, 2026.
I purchased her in July and poor thing came in to the middle of extreme heat in Houston, TX. She took off and in less than a month, she gave me so many buds. She starts off with a soft apricot color and then she turns into a creamy white. She looks so elegant like old money and I fell in love with her so much, I decided to get more Joan to fill my garden and I can see her in mass. She’s strong, healthy, beautiful, here in Texas that’s super valuable. My only small complaint is that she doesn’t have fragrance but really I don’t care when she looks like that. LOVE her!
Hi Amada, thank you for this gorgeous review — 'elegant like old money' says it all! So glad Joan Fontaine handled the Houston heat beautifully and won you over. As she matures, expect her fragrance to develop, too — though her looks alone clearly do the job! Enjoy your growing collection.
Warmly,
The Heirloom Team
Amazing Grace is a beautiful, full rose. Its pedal count is crazy. The flowers out live all my other roses by far. It stays beautiful for days even when cut on my kitchen counter. The smell is sweet. This is one I know my grandmother would have loved.
I cannot believe how much it has grown in 8 weeks and how healthy it is. The pictures do not do it justice and I couldn't be happier with Polka!! This was planted in 100 degree weather and it did not skip a beat.
