This plant arrived trimmed back and ready for planting. It now resides in a large container. One week after planting she was covered in leaves. On the third week she sported a bloom. This rose, at this point, is phenomenally healthy and promises to be an exceptional performer. Though only a single bloom appeared the flower was absolutely beautiful and extremely fragrant. I’m expecting this rose to be quite a performer.

This was my favorite rose. Her scent is wonderful and I love how elegant her blooms are. I planted this rose in the spring of 2023 and it did very well for it's first year. Bloomed like crazy and little trouble with disease. This summer, however, the rose got a case of black spot that wouldn't quit no matter what I did. It was almost without leaves as I removed the infected ones. I sprayed, especially, the new growth, but, those got infected too, so, I gave up on this wonderful rose and had the two bushes pulled out. Am planting Madame Anisette in place this month and am hoping it has more disease resistance that poor JDP had. I think in a dryer climate than mine ( northeastern Ohio, zone 6 A, this rose would do fantastic. I'm so sorry I had to shovel prune her.,

I have ordered this rose when we lived a little further north and it was lovely but small. We planted this lovely beauty last summer and she is already triple the size of the one we had in Atchison. Now, in Wichita, all of our Heritage roses are flourishing. She currently has about ten blossoms and seems intent on being beautiful all summer long!

I amended my soil just as directed by HLR. Within three weeks I had beautiful single white blooms with maroon stamens. Amending the soil is the key. I also placed a ring around my planting area with plastic edging which elevated the planting area by four inches. I topped the planting with landscaper's mix and then pine bark mulch.

The rose is like the music that Jacqueline du Pre played, it's also like the cellist herself, so fragile and subtle. However, the rose is more vigor than the cellist, It continues to give beautiful flowers in the severe weather of Texas. Absolutely my favorite!
