Neil Diamond is MUCH more beautiful in person then it is in pictures. I put this rose off thinking I already have a bi color rose like double delight so why would I need this one which takes up more space? Welp, boy was I wrong. This rose is breath taking gorgeous, even more so then double delight. It also has an intense fragrance, it's very first bloom filled my patio up with it's magical fragrance which surprised me. Some roses are listed as exceptionally fragrant when they are infact not, but this rose definitely is! Don't sleep on this rose it's epic.
I ordered 3 of these and planted them on the ground. Just 2 weeks after planting, they started to flower! OMG!!! Bare root is the way to go! I have been a rose enthusiast (crimson gentleman) for a while and have bought potted roses from some prominent growers but the bare root from Heirloom roses by far has the greatest show of them all! Aside from that, the prices are so reasonable. I believe my shipping cost was free also with the promo. That means a lot!
I shall plan my next purchase again. I can't wait for fall season!
My Neil Diamond began leafing out within one week of it being planted. Now over 2 months it has completely leafed out. I am so pleased with this rosebush and plan on getting another as soon as I can. I can’t wait for the first rose to bloom. I followed the instructions, that came with the rose bush and was happy that I did.
Purchased this rose and received it Aug. 14. Had ground already preped and waiting. Rose came in good condition and I planted according to the video. I am Pleasantly surprised as to how well it has grown. Lots of new leaves and growth in just a short time. No flowers yet but looks nice and healthy.
