I received one gallon of Pink Enchantment rose at the end of April. The package was taken care of very well. The unpacked rose looks fine. Only concern was there are one or two leaves had mild black spot. I worried a little. I planted it on the ground and treated it, hope it will be gone soon. Now one bud bloomed only after one month. I’m very happy with it.
In Zone 7, mine arrived late March and gas put out lots of dark green healthy foliage and three buds. Just got first blooms about 2.5 months after planting and the blooms are nice and full and look as pictured with the pink in center and white guard petals. We have had a cooler spring and I've been using the Founders Fish Emulsion sold by Heirloom so don't know if this contributed as I've seen some people comment on having them bloom more white. For me, it was exactly as pictured!
First year in and it sent up a thumb-sized cane 3 ft tall. It's pumping out gorgeous blooms, and did so just a few weeks after it was planted. Its outpacing my 3-year-old Zephirine Drouhin in both blooms and growth. Must have!

While I agree this rose is slower to bloom than others, it is healthy and happy with blooms exactly as shown on the picture. :-)
