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
In less than a month from receive date, Marmalade Skies is putting on a show ! I have her facing North, with part shade, in above ground organic purchased soil, with some bone meal and alfalfa nuggets, plus new starts of companion Mint plant. She already has gorgeous blooms and buds, which are a mixture of colors, tight buds show hint of pink, and the orange blooms can look a shade of coral, so I am beyond thrilled with purchase. She has been fastest to bloom of all my purchases so far.
