Just been in the ground a couple of days and its already bushing out heavily. Can't wait to see its beautiful blossoms!

I live in zone 9a in Texas, and I had never owned a rose before. I bought a Darlow's Enigma to try my hand at rose gardening at the end of June. The rose came very well packaged and was fairly trimmed for travel, but it quickly started exploding with new leaf growth! Got it planted in the ground a few days after receiving, and about a month later, I got my first cluster of buds with one bloom! I have very dense, clay soil where I live, but I made sure to thoroughly amend the soil with peat moss, worm castings, and bone meal, and fertilized it with high quality fish fertilizer right after planting in the ground. I haven't had to intervene at all, and it already has more bud clusters coming in despite it being the height of hot Texas summer here. I can't wait to see what it looks like in a year!

This was my first order from Heirloom Roses. After being quite disappointed with other companies in the past, I was hesitant to try again. However, Heirloom Roses provided an exceptionally well cared for, potted, well-rooted, well-branched large specimen of a rose! While my recently arrived Darlow’s Enigma has yet to bloom, I was so impressed upon receiving it with its excellent condition and vigor that I am already planning to add another. Both should spread delightfully over our fence providing beauty and fragrance in our zone 4b/5a garden.

I’m in 9b/10a and trying to create a fragrant white rose garden on the side of my property. I was disappointed at first to see the size of the rose I received but after planting was shocked at how fast it grew with little interference. This is a strong rambler. Robust growth - already quadrupled in size since my purchase earlier in 2023. Darlow has beautiful, dainty clusters of apple blossom like white blossoms with such an amazing strong fragrance. I was standing feet away and couldn’t believe how a small cluster of flowers could produce so much scent. I can tell this one will be a flower factory as it hits year 2.
