Pensioner's Voice is blooming for the first time, pretty rose.

I recommend to buy the gallon roses instead of the banded roses, the miniature roses are okay as banded but the other roses, always buy the gallon roses.

I've ordered from Heirloom for the better part of two decades, and always receive the healthiest plants. It never ceases to amaze me how you can, with proper attention, stick a defoliated bunch of thorny twigs in the ground and in a few weeks have a beautiful plant! This isn't necessarily my favorite rose, but others might find it enchanting. The flush of blooms is truly astounding (I didn't even plant mine until the end of June). It started blooming around the end of July, and just kept on going until a hard frost. It's a strong upright grower that is kind enough to show restraint and doesn't hold back blooms if you prune her. It's the color that's difficult for me--in the heat and humidity of Iowa, the blooms fade quickly to a glowing orange, which doesn't work well with my pinks and creams. This is no fault of the rose.
