This rose is simply stunning with a bright, true red color and dark foliage. Gives us tons of blooms from Spring through fall so we are ordering a second one to fill in the whole fence section now because we can’t get enough of it!

I usually won't review a rose for at least a year, maybe two so I can give a real 100% honest review of how the rose handles the heat, cold, wind, disease, bugs, etc. but Dublin Bay is in a class of her own and deserves a five star review now! I ordered Dublin Bay in spring 2024 for a shadier spot in my 7b Oklahoma garden which only gets about 5 hours of direct sun in the mornings. I figured if she didn't like the spot I can always move her, right? I planted her in a large whiskey barrel planter and within one week she put out a basal break and had a bud on her! Before I knew what had happened my Bobo Hydrangeas (in pots on either side of Dublin Bay) were out of control. They had exploded and were covering DB. When I got in there to make adjustments I found 2 clusters of beautiful red blooms hidden from view. Fast forward a couple months and the volunteer coleus grew so big, it too was blocking DB. I went in to cut back the coleus and there were even more hidden DB blooms. This rose is magnificent! No black spot, super healthy and happy. Throwing out new growth everywhere. I am so glad I chose this rose to add to my collection! Now if I could just keep the coleus from taking over everything...

Great beginner rose! Blooming all the time in partial shade!

Everybody talks about my 4 Dublin Bay climbers on the iron fence creating a garden courtyard in front of my home. Creates a private feeling from the street by the massive blasts of color. Crazy abundant bloomers. Nothing compares to them. The season is only beginning, and I already have hundreds of blooms and buds.
