True to Form

This bush flourished rapidly and us blooming right now. Roses are delicate, sturdy, and long lasting. It is only 2 months old in my ground. Arrived defoliated byt fully hydrated and packed in superior packaging.

Quick growth

Planted in a container, zone 7, there wasn't a leaf on it when I planted it just 4 weeks ago, early August. Now it has grown twice the height, with large leaves which went from bronze to green, and already has 4 forming buds. I am so looking forward to seeing them bloom in the next days.

A Truly Beautiful Rose! Beautiful!

This Rose plant took a while to settle in and begin blooming. I was kicking myself because I had not read the reviews. Then, when I did I was pretty discouraged. NOT! This Rose is NOT spindley, it's vigorous and when it finally put on buds it produced at least 6, followed by another 4 or 5. The "blue" is nowhere near Lobelia Blue in my garden, (alkaline) but it is lovely, rather soft Lavenderish Blue/Pink. Light pastel color. Wonderful Tea Rose shaped bud opens to a very high centered bloom. Lasts for days through HOT weather. I am very pleased with this variety. Can't wait until next year for larger and even more blooms!
