I received this rose on May 9th, and I planted it on May 10th. I saw no real growth for a few months. On August 22, it finally produced one rose! Today (October 5th), it has grown considerably and has produced only 5 roses total. I’m not sure if this is normal for a climber, but I still love this rose bush nonetheless. I’m hoping it will branch out even more next year and climb all over my fence. This rose is beautiful but a very slow grower in my garden. It is a lovely shade of red, which is exactly what I was looking for.

This was the first rose I purchased from heirloom in June of this year(2025). It immediately gave me a few small blooms 2 weeks after planting. Now only a couple of months later it flushed with a new set of healthy buds. The greenery on this rose is also so beautiful against the bright red roses. I just know if it’s this big and beautiful after a couple of months then next spring and summer it’s going to really be a shows stopped on top of my black arbor.

Thriving in zone 10. I have had this rose for about 2 months now. It is the middle rose in my photo. It started blooming shortly after potting. There has been atleast one rose in bloom at all times. Currently there’s 6! Lots of great growth and the blooms are beautiful. I can smell their scent lightly. Can’t wait to see how it continues to grow up my trellis.

I had a vision of wrapping this porch in red roses - Dublin Bay made my dream come true (with an helpful assist from a video on the Heirloom Roses website describing the method for training climbing roses). These bushes went into fairly poor soil with gravel that had been laid down as a ground cover around the building (not my choice). I incorporated compost when they were planted and keep up with watering and regular heavy feeding with a rose specific fertilizer. They are in a full sun location. The results speak for themselves-could not be happier.
