Vivid color and scent did not disappoint!

I've been waiting a couple of years for this little rose to become available again. I had her for two wonderful years, but in an unfortunate location at the corner of my driveway where Doordash and grocery deliveries and my own family ruffians kept running over her. I eventually lost her. But, as soon as she's available, I'm ordering two, one to plant in a better location and one for a container.

This rose never disappointed. Even when plowed down to three inches, it once sported a gorgeous rose that nearly glowed neon-pink. The color never faded, even in Texas' 100+ weather, this little bush always churned out vivid pink roses. It didn't have much of a scent the first year, but I remember a spicy-citrus scent the next. I've really missed my gorgeous little Electron rose these last couple of years and can't wait to have another!

She's gorgeous!

Electron is so healthy, beautiful and thriving! She took off pretty quickly, growing at least a foot within a couple months, and she is covered in both buds and flowers. I wish I could walk around smelling this rose all day long - she's heavenly!

Vibrant

I bought this rose last year and planted it along with 'Bride' and 'Blue Girl'. While all 3 are thriving 'Electron' is reminiscent of my most favorite old rose called 'Perfume Delight' which I can no longer find. Electron's fragrance is exceptional taking me back to my childhood and my mom who always had the Perfume Delight rose. They are so similar in color and fragrance as to be indistinguishable.

Gorgeous, and tough as nails in zone 5

After the first winter planted in my garden, I thought Electron didn’t survive, and last spring I pulled up the dead bush, which also had a significant chunk of dead root attached to it. A few months later, to my utter astonishment, there was a new rose sprouting from that spot! It was Electron, growing quite vigorously from a live root that had stayed in the ground! That was last year, and she has been pumping out loads of blooms ever since. I fertilized with Heirloom Roses granular fertilizer last summer, and Electron has rewarded my fertilizing efforts from last year by being covered with blooms so far this year. Truly a great, and very forgiving, rose.
