I've had Bright Fire for five plus years. The bush is 7 feet tall but it hardly blooms in my 9b garden. All my roses get alfalfa pellets, manure in February, They get regular feedings of kelp and fish emulsion. This rose is getting torn out of the garden.

After 3 years and kids breaking them, I have a beautiful flowering bush. They always flowered but take a look now. I planted 2 at the same time. One is smaller. I think light and water is the difference . Just take a look!

We live in WA 1-1/2 hrs from the Canadian border. We have a pretty moderate (much less rain than Seattle) (and little snow) climate. Bright Fire has had perhaps 10 blooms *total* in 3 years, and the rose is definitely beset with mildew. The blooms are something gorgeous; the plant health much less so.

Grew somewhere between 9-11ft within the first year it was planted -- has many, many large fragrant blooms -- color is true to the photos (bright fiery orange). I'm in zone 6b (Boston area) -- survived the winter (was wrapped). Would definitely recommend -- stunning
