I am in love with this rose! The bloom is long lasting and color is unique. Will be buying a second one! 1st year, planted 2 months ago
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.
