And worthy of the name “Buxom”! Wow! What a stunner! Her buds are gorgeous even early on, and watching them open is a spectacle. Wonderful on the bush or as a cut rose, a single bloom is elegant in a tall bud vase. And the fragrance! My husband, who enjoys comparing fragrances, rates this only behind our Firefighter and our twenty year old unidentified yellow rose. This lady is truly a winner!
I grow roses in 7B, Coastal Plain Region of NC.

Just planted a couple of months ago- so far there haven't been many blooms, but the ones that have developed are picture-perfect. Gorgeous pink shades that almost shimmer. I'm very glad I got this one.

I purchased my first Buxom Beauty about 6 years ago for my Zone 6b garden. The first two seasons, with very mild Winters, it was Absolutely Gorgeous with enormous magenta blooms. I knew my mother would love it so I sent one to her for her Idaho Zone 6b garden. By my third season she started having problems because the previous Winter was brutally cold (Polar Vortex). I knew the cold was coming, I surrounded her with straw — big mistake! She developed horrible black spot and nothing I did was going to bring her back. So I ordered a new one from HR. Again had a very cold snap during the Winter and she never gave me a single flower. I have over 40 roses and have been growing roses for 30 years. Sadly I had to give up on the Beauty. Now to my mother’s garden... she also had a snap of below zero temps one Winter and tried all she could to save the Beauty... to no avail. Buxom Beauty is listed for as low as Zone 5... I humbly disagree based on my and my mother’s experience in our Zone 6b gardens. I gave her five stars because in the right climate she is a superstar.

This rose has bloomed in flushes since i planted it this year. Each wave of blossoms has been bigger and more fragrant. I'm preparing for winter, and this plant now has one enormous flower, almost six inches across. It's a deeply shaded pink/orchid.

The fragrance is intense, even in cooler weather. I think the fragrance should be classified as "exceptionally" fragrant, rather than "very" fragrant. When the weather warms up, I will probably buy another one.

This beauty is a real show stopper! I had so many people asking the name of this beauty! It blossoms continuously and has an intoxicating scent!!! By far my favorite rose!
