I got this rose somewhat late in the Spring. It has impressed me with its vigor, health, and blooms. The most recent blooms have been spectacular due to the cool weather. The color is quite stunning and vibrant. If I had more space, I would have ordered more.
If you like double color roses this is the one.I have 46 rose bushes in my garden and she is easily top 3 for beauty and uniqueness. Pic is straight from my phone camera no filter.
This is the first time I have tried to raise a rose. The plant was very well packed with quick shipping. I planted it in a large container in full sun by the side of my house. Yes, it looked like a bunch of sticks, but after about two weeks this rose is loving it's life. Having relocated to the South, I wanted this Chicago rose to remind me of my roots. I can't wait until I see my first flower.
