I have bought a few roses every month since July '24, as I have revamped our yard. I planted Honey D in mid-August, and this picture is from mid-October. She has bloomed a few times since planted! I have her in a bed with my grandpa's Hot Chocolate and a Pumpkin Patch.I think they'll look beautiful when mature! The plant came in excellent condition, and has grown beautifully! I am in zone 9, in the Sacramento Valley. I am very happy with my Heirloom Roses!
This rose is a dream come true. Customer service was excellent. Color and fragrance are superb. The rose arrived in perfect condition. I transplanted into a modestly larger terracotta pot and as I always do w my new own root roses I gradually acclimated her to our Southern California hotter weather. We had some blooms after a few months and got thru winter outside. This summer was brutal, extreme 111 degree heat. I watered early mornings, w a little misting and all has been well, once the extreme heat subsided the fertilized w fish fertilizer & I’ve had several new blooms. Will transplant into a larger pot in late fall.
I love the unusual and unique. The color of this rose makes her a favorite. But most of all, she is thriving!
Smells sweet. Looks stunning in the early mornings or on rainy day. I love the brown hues and pinks at the edge of the petals. The blooms are has big as 5' in diameter! I wish I could post a picture
