I planted Grande Dame last fall. She was quiet but this spring has been magnificent! The blooms are huge. The fragrance is fabulous! I have a very small cottage garden. I put her next to Julia Child and Memorial Day. I really want to order just one more Grande Dame. How can I squeeze her in🥰

I cannot comment on blooms because Grande Dame was just planted 3 weeks ago, but, she is putting out lovely new, red growth and looks very healthy with a huge amount of leaves. Hoping she will be healthy as in my zone, 6A, we tend to get a lot of black spot. Time will tell, but, for now she's looking great. Thanks Heirloom for sending such good roses.

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.

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!
