I am a dyed-in-the-wool fragrant rose fan. I also only have red roses because everyone else loves them. This deep, dark subversive beauty is a wonder. For me, all Heirloom roses stay tiny the first season. This spring this baby is good for liftoff and working its color magic! Can hardly wait to see how its reputation for heat tolerance will work out.

Planted 3 years ago, zone 8, along with numerous other varieties at the same time. Didn't expect much, bought it to balance out the color range in the rose garden I was establishing but it has been outstanding. Lush green foliage, the blooms are tall, upright and full. Lastly the depth and luminosity of the bloom color is intense and surprising, didn't expect the richness of it. Not affected by insect & disease pressure and also, a wet spring like this year. Very very pleased with this rose!

This rose did so well in our 100 degree heat last season! I was worried she might not stand the winter after reading some reviews, but she took it like a champ and was the first to bloom this season!

I typically wait a year or two before writing a review, but this rose warrants it. Planted in March and it did very well in the heat. Has grown well and coloring is absolutely beautiful. Can’t wait for it to fully develop.

This is a gorgeous rose. My first planting did not survive the winter. I replaced it w/another & so far I have 3 buds on it. One is opening up & I am beyond pleased. Heirloom Roses has the BEST stock & quality roses
