I planted Cornelia on March 10, 2022 and she already has a pretty delicate blossom and has several other budding clusters. I live in zone 9 (South Texas).

Despite my worry that the garden in front of my front porch might be too shady, I ordered Cornelia. I figured perhaps I'd get a bloom or two. Imagine my surprise when I was rewarded this very first year with 28 buds! The first one has just opened and is so pretty. In love that Cornelia changes color with age, too. And while mine doesn't have a very strong scent yet, I have been told that the scent also develops over time. I'm so pleased with my purchase and am enjoying the brightness and cheer Cornelia brings to my semi shady porch!

I've had mine for about 10 years, grown from a Heritage Roses baby. I"ve got it on a pillar, which allows the canes to arch and cascade down. Soft, romantic, fragrant, disease resistant and absolutely lovely. Highly recommended.

I've only had this rose for a short time, less than a year, but love it already and looking forward to it "growing up" and becoming a focal point in my small yard. It's super healthy looking and I can't wait to see it mature!
