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.

I had this rose for about three years (NYC). Last year, as Dorothy from Pennsylvania did, I noticed black "dead" canes. Yet, I let most of them intact, and it did not seem to affect the overall performance of the bush. The new branches grew off those dead canes, go figure! The rose is very tidy, upright and blooms continuously in clusters. Oh, not to forget to mention how beautifully it smells!
Thank you, Heirloom Roses.
