I got this rose in early August and it has flourished. Its first bloom is huge and fragrant and there’s 2 other buds on the way. It’s liking it’s 6b home in Stroudsburg.
Is this the rose developed by a small nursery that was the first ever declared an "American Beauty"
Thanks
PS I realize i crashed someones party here. Been trying to find for decades!!!
This rose was the first rose EVER to become an American Beauty that was developed by an amateur!! I saw the article in Nat Geo as a teen. Now 75!
Just planted this is summer of 2021 in northern MN. I can't believe how many blooms it has and how tall it has gotten. Mine is at least 3-4 ft. tall. With our windy season, I put a 5 ft. tower trellis around it for stabilization, which made it even more spectacular. The blooms are huge - about the size of my hands. I wish I could attach a picture.
