Better than real hot cocoa

Planted February 23, 2023 upon arrival… Finally, she’s starting to show herself! Even had a delivery driver stop and take pictures after dropping off packages at our home! Stunning color and rare appeal around me.

A beauty!

Love this rose. It actually ended up getting waterlogged and drowned after a soggy beginning to Spring (2024 zone 5b).... but I dug it out of that area and replanted. Came back slowly but surely and produced some gorgeous flowers. Spicy color! Love it. It is growing quite well. Can't wait to see what the 2025 season will bring.
