Planted mine in Zone5b four weeks ago and we've got a beautiful bloom with a few more on the way! Hoping to order a handful more next spring. :)
I was worried about this plant when it arrived in May. Compared to the other two red rose climbers I purchased at the same time, this one looked spindly. It had very few leaves and was shorter than the red ones. Now, after 5 or 6 weeks it has one bloom and 3 or 4 more buds. It is also the tallest. I am in zone 5.
Three weeks in the ground and the two Honeymoon roses I ordered are full of blooms. Very pleased!
I purchased this rose last summer and this spring the rose bush has leafed out and is doing incredibly well. I have never ordered from a rose company and had such healthy and beautiful roses right off the bat. This rose is now about 3-4 feet tall and another one I purchased from another company is about 6 inches tall and they are next to each other. No comparison and will only order roses from this company. The other rose bushes I ordered from them are also very healthy.
