I’m in eastern MD and this is my first time growing roses. I was looking for a darker colored rose that could handle the full sun of my front porch area, and in three weeks Midnight Rose is already stunning! I used the recommended bone meal and living soil, had some insect issues but with a little help from a spray things are back on track. Really excited for this one! Hoping she gains more fragrance in her blooms over the next year as she matures.

Blue had her first bloom this week and it was breath taking. Such a deep purple. I got 2 of these and the other has several buds ready to pop. I can't wait to see these in full bloom. I have them in white planters on my porch so it will really contrast and stand out. My theme is purple cottage garden with pops of red flowers and white hydrangea. It's coming together nicely. The roses are the final touch. Beautiful.

I ordered these to plant on the grave of my cat best friend of over ten years. I believe I could not have made a better choice to honor her life. These roses are stunning! The foliage began regrowing rapidly and she flowered less than a month after I received her! The fragrance is candy sweet clove, but still rosey and I cannot get enough!

I really wanted to love this rose but alas it is no longer in my 6b garden. It seemed very disease susceptible, especially to blackspot. I only got a few small blossoms on it that the Japanese Beetles flocked to. It died in our very cold winter, but I wasn't too sad because it underperformed every other rose in my garden by far. I don't recommend this rose to anyone who doesn't spray. I regret spending money on this one. I'm sure there are much better alternatives.

Just purchased this rose this spring and two months later it's putting on a beautiful display. Very pleased, gorgeous coloring, so far disease resistant.
