I bought this rose a number of years ago. It has been thriving for years. The large, vibrant, red blooms are great for cutting. I grow it in 8b. It only gets a few hours of afternoon sun, but does very well.
Almost all my roses are from Heirloom, and this beauty was added last year. It blooms almost continuously, and now during its dormancy just stopped production. It is a perfect red, not exactly cherry nor fire engine red but truly beautiful, nice and healthy. This one does well in a pot.
This is a spectacular rose. It has beautiful fragrant blossoms. They last, and it blooms all summer, sometimes the first to bloom in the spring.
We bought it 7 years ago when we first moved to Eugene. I thought I was loosing it last summer but I trimmed it down nearly ground level and it has returned in all it's glory.
I recommend this rose.
