This little darling arrived in great shape. I bought two of them. Dug the holes two feet by two feet as recommended. Man was that a lot of digging in Houston clay soil! Used all the amendments from Heirloom. Within days, the foilage was robust, and within two weeks they started budding and blooming.
At first, I thought I had the wrong species, as the flowers were very small, flat and yellow. They are supposed to be peach colored. Then after the first blooms, the peach colored roses came in. They are quite small and have no fragrance at this point, but I hope they will have scent.
So far I like them a lot. I have them next to fences ready to strap them to the fence to climb up and provide a beautiful divider to my hide my kennel yard.
I just received and planted out this rose, along with several others. It's too early to report on blooms, but all my plants arrived in good condition and are a good size. I can't wait to see them take off!!
I misread the zone info on this rose and bought it last year when it’s not rated for my zone 5b. I covered it last winter with all the rest of my new roses and it died all the way down to the ground. I thought for sure it was done, but it started to put out some leaves and some baby canes and is trying its hardest to grow. I doubt it’ll survive another winter, but while it was thriving last summer it puts out the most divine, pale pink blooms in the loveliest shapes. I’m incredibly sad it probably won’t make it, it was my favorite!
I purchased this wonderful fragrant rose some years ago. The flowers are sensational and abundant, and this rose is healthy and vigorous. Heirloom Roses has never disappointed: six of their roses are in my garden and they are addictive!
