I live in Southern California, and I bought 3 of these bushes about 1.5 years ago. All 3 are thriving. The blooms are large and wonderfully fragrant. I clipped 6 gorgeous blooms and gave them to my mom for Mother’s Day —she loved them.

We received the plant in very good condition about a month ago. I am very happy about it. We planted it according to the instructions. The leaves are growing and they look healthy. I can't wait to see the flowers. Thank you all for doing such great service.

Planted this in a container in June (late for zone 7) and was surprised how well it did, even in relentless hear. Most fragrant rose I’ve ever had. Big dramatic blooms. Will order another one this year!

I planted this rose earlier this year along with about a dozen other varieties and Grand Dame has been the highest performer by far, Even today (11/9) I cut over a dozen blooms with a dozen more buds coming (zone 9a). It is a beautiful clear pink and so fragrant, It has been been completely pest and disease free, even when I've had problems with aphids or other issues on the roses next to her. Literally couldn't ask for more from a rose. She is very thorny though - but we all can be prickly at times so I forgive her for that!

Ordered and planted 3 of these in late November, and I got my first full bloom last week. Gorgeous! I'm in zone 10b and planted according to the provided instructions. I'm looking forward to seeing these mature and, hopefully, produce more blooms. As a side note, I was afraid the plants had RSV, and sent in photos to the warranty department. They reassured me that the plants were healthy, and they turned out to be right. The response was quick, friendly, and reassuring.
