This is one of my all-time favorite roses… It is incredibly busy making flowers, it has cheerfully resisted the black spot I've been fighting in my garden in a wet year here in Portland, and the flowers last a preternaturally long time both on the bush and in a vase. My only regret is that I don't have room for 10 of them!
My favorite rose - an absolute stunner! It is a high performer in my 8A Upstate SC garden.
I bought marmalade skies last year and it did well with blooming that first year. This year, however, it looked very sad, hasn’t bloomed, and was a stick for months. I thought I was losing it, but after some doctoring, it’s come back and looks beautiful and leafy! I changed locations for it and that has seemed to help (I probably had it where it was getting too much sun and it was a brutal summer). Very happy to see it thriving again!
The one blossom is beautiful. Anything planted in my garden struggles so I am pleased
