Planted this rose a four weeks ago and she's already blooming. She has seven open blooms and a few still coming. Blooms look just as in the pictures. Amazing!

I received this rose in mid-Sept so have had it about a month. It is SO much larger and healthier looking than any other rose I have purchased from other well regarded and reputable sources. Immediately developed healthy looking new growth after planting. I regret not having purchased my other roses here. I look forward to seeing how this one does in my Iowa/Zone 5 garden but so far it has exceeded expectations!

I purchased the Night Owl rose because my sister used to own one that bloomed vigorously in partial sun under a towering pine tree. It was a giant, sprawling rose that thrived with very little care and it’s burgundy/plum (depending on light) open-faced blooms, with their cheerful yellow centers, covered the entire plant. To top it all off, the fragrance is deeply and intoxicatingly “rose”, like the wild roses that grow in many regions of the U.S.. And like those wild roses, Night Owl has lots of thorns! It’s not my usual color choice for the garden, but is a spectacular addition to any garden. Mine is already growing strong (though still short of course) and budded out after only 4-6 weeks in the ground.

This rose is very hardy. I’m in zone 7b and I’ve never babied it and it still blooms every year. My husband even broke off a cane by accident and thru it in some soil and it friggin took off. Now I have another! It’s such a happy looking rose. I have it weaved into a fence. The deer haven’t demolished it but my goats tried a few times! :)
