I bought this for my Husbands birthday around April.
I was told it's was one of the more fragrant roses, it is! It wasn't much to look at when it arrived but very quickly after getting it into the ground it started blooming.
I've already made rose petal sauce, rose petal jam and A rose petal infused vodka. I'm so happy with it!
Ok ok, they were really for me but my Husband loves
them too.

Thank you for bringing back this rose. I have been looking for it for about 10 years because of it's size, color and fragrance. I couldn't believe such a great rose would disappear from the market, so I looked every year to see if it was back. Finally Heirloom brought it back. I purchased two, which are both growing fast. After two months both bushes have had multiple huge, beautiful, fragrant blooms. Heirloom has great customer service.

This rose is a top performer all around- it grew like crazy, pumped out gorgeous, perfectly-formed flowers of a beautiful dark magenta-fuchsia color all season long, and has a great fragrance, too. I am in Zone 6, and this one did great. We will see how she survives the winter here, but given how full and sturdy the plant is, I am not anticipating any problem.

This little bush only had two stringy branches when it arrived, but that did not deter it from blooming this gorgeous 4 1/2 inch bloom shortly after planting it. I was blown away that such a little twiggy branched plant could produce such a big bloom. Am very pleased with this bush. Sadly though while weeding it the begining of spring I accidently snocked off the new sprout/shoot and it has yet to send up another one, I believe an unexpected cold spell killed the little plant, but I still have the hope that it will send up a shoot. If not will definitely be repurchasing and highly recommend this rose!
