I love this rose! In its first year, healthy, vigorous growth, almost always blooming, has a light fragrance of warm spices to my nose, and the blooms last a week or more on the plant where most of my DA roses shatter within a couple days, even in the dead heat of summer. Grown in afternoon sun in my 7a high elevation garden.
I planted 12 Lichfield Angel roses in my front yard on 10/4. Today is 10/28 and each bush had several buds on them that are about to open. We already have one bloom that has opened up, and at a week old (see photo), it still looks great.
I’m excited to see them in the spring of next year.
My Lichfield roses are glorious! They bloomed beautifully the first year.😊 Very satisfied.
Love Heirloom Roses!!
I bought 5 roses from heirloom and this one surpassed all of them in bloom and growth. I planted it in July in central valley California over 100F heat and in a month it has so many buds and blooms. Its now August still over 100F and there are so many buds and roses. The blooms last a long time too. This is my first David Austen and now I'm hooked.
