This year Rugelda is just outstanding. It sits in the parking strip in the front of the house and appears to love the heat and all the rain that we got this spring. I live near Portland, Oregon.

This rose was planted a month ago, and has given me 1 bloom already. And what a bloom! This medium soft yellow flower is frilly and lasted quite a while considering our hot weather. Love it!

Of the 17 Heirloom roses I planted last summer, 16 became superstars over the remainder of the growing season. I decided to replace the one that arrived dead with a Rugelda, which did not become available until Black Friday. Heirloom reps were extraordinarily helpful in overcoming problems with online order over Thanksgiving holiday. Customer service has also been superior during each of my previous contacts. Thanks, Heirloom. I'm looking forward to Rugelda showing her colors this coming spring.

I was considering digging this rose up due to lack of blooms over 3-4 years, but this year, she showed off, and right after a good trim. The buds and roses are worth waiting for, zone 6A.
