An OUTSTANDING rose!!!

I bought this rose last year (2023) after seeing some pics posted in a rose group. I received a nice plant and planted in a prime location. It did well in 2023 and I was pleased. In 2024 it started blooming in the spring. AND NEVER STOPPED!!!!!! Since it started it has had AT LEAST 1-2 blooms on it at all times in addition to the regular flushes of blooms. This is an incredible rose and I can't wait to see what happens the third year! Also disease resistant (primarily blackspot in my area). Southern TN, zone 8a.

FABULOUS ROSE

I planted this one only a few months ago and have had only one bloom, but boy was it PERFECT. The shape, the form, the petal count, everything was glorious. Like an Austin, but it held its petals for a week in a vase. The fragrance was GLORIOUS. It seems to take a couple of months to get settled here in Portland, Oregon, but it is now taking off. I couldn't be happier with this and await more of those glorious blooms. As far as disease goes, it had a bit of blackspot this spring when all my roses did (except for At Last--completely untouched) due to our insanely wet weather (12" of rain in a couple of months), but it has cleared up fine. Lovely plant. Highly recommend.
