Paul Neyron took several years to really take off in my garden. Stayed small and didn’t bloom at all the first few years. It’s not that I wasn’t taking care of it — but last year I was able to really dive in, keeping a calendar to feed every 4 weeks (paying attn to N-P-K ratios) and adding additional amendments per Heirloom’s FAQ section, including alfalfa meal, epsom salts, etc at certain times of year. WOW, this year it burst into life! It’s now 5-6’ tall, bushy/leafy from top to bottom, and giving me tons of the hugest roses I’ve ever seen. 6-7” diameter, no joke. Scent is incredible, and the blooms are richly colorful from start to finish. It gets full CA sun all day. I’ll be moving this year and wish I could take it with me! This stunner is top of my list to get started right away at our new place.

I live in very very hot CA, my Paul Neyron is potted, and gives roses even when in the 101 degree weather, in full sun, even though the heat causes my other Roses to stop blooming (Pat Austin, George Burns too). The fragrance is unmatched, but more so, the Peony size blossoms last in the vase for many many days. I love this rose beyond the beyond, and just added another! They are leggy but that just gives you reason to cut 10 inch stems and place them in tall clear vases to support the sumptuous and large blossoms.

This rose has to be one of the biggest of all of them, very fragrant and nice color to go with.

A very tall rose plant that blooms only at the top. He is like a bean stalk in my garden. When he blooms it is so big and pretty. Kinda stingy with the blooms but hopefully in year 3 he’ll bloom more.
