I planted Celestial Night rose in my south-side front yard flower bed, where it gets sun from about 8:00am to 7:30pm here in zone 9, in March, after spring forward DST. I have it on about three 0.5 gallon-per-hour drip irrigation emitters, where it gets 1.5 gallons per hour total, for 90 minutes 2-3 times a week. It has been hot this year, already two weeks of 85-91F temp highs in March. This plant grew fast with dark green, large healthy leaves. The buds are small and deceptively tiny when they first emerge and the green sepals drop. Then suddenly, it bursts out. You can really see both of the mother plants- Ebb Tide and Grande Dame- in Celestial Night. The color is right between Ebb Tide and Grande Dame currently in my hot temps. It looks a lot like Grande Dame initially, but then it fully opens and looks like a pinker Ebb Tide. I like that, and I hope it's pinker in the spring/summer and deep purple in the fall. The fragrance is beautiful. The fully opened blooms last about 4 or 5 days, a long time on the plant! It is my favorite, and I have quite a few Heirloom Rose top sellers. All my neighbors love Celestial Night. I can see it down the street while I pull up on my house, and it gives incredible curb appeal to my property.

I planted this rose on memorial day of 2025. She is growing really well and covered in beautiful long lasting flowers. The color in the pictures is accurate.

My rose was planted last summer and is a vigorous grower. I love the color and how the blooms fill out the bush.

I purchased two Celestial Night rose bushes which were potted up in late May; I’m beyond pleased with how well they have performed thus far. They are fast growers that produce an abundance of beautiful long lasting blooms. The purple-mauve color of the roses as they’re fading is as lovely as the deep fuchsia they display when they first open. Some of their foliage has the tiniest bit of sawfly damage, but nowhere near what some of the other varieties in my garden have suffered. Whether that’s due to the Celestial Nights being in pots and not in the ground or just having a higher pest resistance is beyond my limited rose knowledge. I’m very impressed with them nonetheless. The only thing that would make me love them more is more fragrance(I smell a hint of citrus, but not the heavenly scent others have described) but that’s not what these stunners are all about for me.
