Maybe one of DA’s best roses.
Zone 9. Blooms in sprays. Lasts about a week on the bush. Like most DA’s, a poor cut flower but better than most DA’s and will last a few days inside.
6 ft. tall in a single season.
Can be trained as a small climber but it forms an upright bush with many basal breaks. Not as floppy as other English roses.
Very disease resistant (no black spot, not powdery mildew in 2 seasons).
Blooms don’t seem to ball when wet. Handles rain well.
I get a lot of scent 7/10. I have read others don’t pick up much scent, but I find it to be a pretty strong fragrance all day.
Flowers age well in color and don’t shatter easily.
Moderate thorns, can be planted where you may bump it.
Tolerates hot, dry heat well.
Mines planted on east facing wall. Full sun. Afternoon shade.
I planted several roses, and this was the first one to bloom. The blooms are stunning. The fragrance is strong as well. Highly recommend.
