Not only is this rose absolutely stunning, and has been, by far and away, my most prolific grower, but the blooms themselves are massive and last so very long! The blooms also always tend to illicit such a beautiful reaction from those to whom I gift them.
These roses are unbelievable. They look like movie props. I planted one last year so it's on it's second season now and the blooms are like perfectly shaped and the size in between baseballs and softballs. It's bizarre. Mine are in a container and they still have giant blooms.. I hope this breed isn't discontinued any time soon because I would like to plant more over the next few years.
This rose is exquisitely beautiful. I ordered it on June 11th, and it arrived as scheduled on the 24th. It came as a thin stem with multiple branches in a small nursery pot, with leaves trimmed to reduce moisture loss.
Upon arrival, I immediately watered the plant and followed the planting instructions. Within a few weeks, new shoots emerged, producing at least six buds. I meticulously followed all care instructions, and the plant has rewarded me with generous blooms. The 4-inch flowers, with their light pink petals edged in dark pink, are stunning and make excellent cut flowers.
While the plant itself isn't as vigorous as a potted rose you'd buy from a store, the glorious blooms more than make up for it. I hope it survives the cold spell and continues to thrive.
It’s not only beautiful but also lasting a long time. It’s outstanding out of over 130 roses in my zone 5b garden. See video in 2023, the second year:
