This hardy healthy rose is giving us much joy. We just planted it 30 days ago and already blooming. The color is a special glowing orange that lights up the garden.

I purchased this rose in memory of my Dad’s Army buddy, John. The rose bloomed from the moment we planted it in the ground and didn’t stop until the late fall. And it survived the unusual and insanely hot summer (100+)! Can’t wait to see the blooms this year!

We live in Zone 7 and planted this particular rose in a large pot. It has done remarkably well even in our sometimes harsh conditions. Bought it in honor of my husband Johns 65th birthday! Flowers are a beautiful color.
