This Peter Mayle has the most beautiful HUGE hot pink blooms that are indeed exceptionally fragrant. The best part about this rose though is it's very hard to find highly fragrant roses that grow well in partial shade, especially from a Hybrid Tea! This rose so far is very healthy and prolific in partial shade. I highly recommend this rose as well as Angel Face rose as they have done the best so far in my partial shade area of the garden.
I received my plant in great condition with 4 healthy, beautiful canes. I am looking forward to the beautiful roses to come.
He only gets about 5 hours of morning sun yet he still thrives. He has a heavy floral scent, no blackspot (so far)and the blooms are huge!
I live in zone 8 North Washington state.
Our first Peter Mayle rose grew nearly 7 feet tall with 5-6 inch flowers last summer 2023. It has the most beautiful fragrance and is the healthiest of all our roses. I love it so much my husband ordered two more last year. We planted them late summer one grew about a foot and gave roses, the other we planted in an area where the ground is sandy it did not grow as well so we will transplant it this year.
Our weather in the summer is inconsistent sometimes more rain or sun than others. This plant has survived it all and while it blooms more some summers than others it still blooms and is beautiful.
The blooms grow at the mid to upper top of plant.
It is a hardy plant and one I can count on giving plenty of blooms, love it!
