I planted these on the north side of our house. Took a few years to do well. I added mint compost and bloom granules early spring and that helped tremendously. Must be patient with this one.

I'm new to growing roses. To be honest, they're very intimidating; lol. I purchased a total of 4 roses from Heirloom. Antique is a great rose for someone who was apprehensive on getting "just a pink rose". I love how the edges of the petals are pink with the remaining part is cream. The pink:cream ratio is so skewed towards cream, but because they're so many petals, the pink screams at you. The cream pulls you in to look further; the second pic shows the back of the rose where the cream is best visible.
(To note, rose arrived March 3rd, with no issues in shipment. Rose was planted approximately 1 week after delivery.)

Planted for full morning sun. Very healthy plant with two nice 5’-6’ canes and two beautiful bloom clusters the first year. This Spring there is vigorous growth at each leaf node on last year’s canes and two new canes. I am highly encouraged for lots of bloom this season.

I’m in zone 9b/10a and have placed antique in a wine barrel in a North facing spot with not that much sunlight. I disagree with reviewer Sara at least for my zone; this is a robust growing rose. I planted it in a combination of compost, earthworm castings, potting soil and mint mulch. The darn thing exploded a cane five feet up and over my fence. I only got one blossom so far but this is to be expected since it is only in its first year. But let me tell you, this rose blossom is gorgeous. The coloring is phenomenal. Hard to judge fragrance at this point, likely it will take a few years to truly tell (as with most roses).
