Perhaps due to its youth or my climate but mine is much more coral than orange. It's delightful actually. Blooms are huge and long lasting
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!
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
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.
