Great yellow rose that I purchased several years ago. It is a vigorous grower and floriferous. It's in nearly constant bloom or bud and smells great. As a floribunda, I didn't expect it to be such a large plant. It's in a 16 inch pot and nearly seven feet tall. It bloomed during the recent heat wave (high 90s to over 100) without a pause where other roses were drooping.
I ordered the Irish Hope rose in honor of my beloved Irish Setter Hope who passed last June. This beautiful rose rewarded me with a bloom on the anniversary of her passing. How could I, a newbie to roses, ask for more? Beautiful and fragrant and she's just getting started!
I have only had Irish Hope for a few months, but she has been blooming and growing wonderfully. Because it is a young plant I keep it in a pot in a partially shaded section of our Northern Arizona patio. As others have commented, the blooms are long lasting. I ended up with this rose almost by accident, but I am really enjoying the lovely fragrance and sweet blooms. It is just a charismatic, vigorous, and healthy rose.
Irish Hope has grown very well in my garden for the past 5 years. It is a very hardy, tall, and stately rose. Its blooms are long lasting and offer a lovely lemon color to the rose garden. It is almost always in bloom too.
