So this was the first year I've really gotten into old garden roses because I've had the perception that they are kinda fussy and disease prone. While I've found that to be the case with some of the variety it is most certainly not the case with Salet. In one word Salet is simply amazing! Her old rose sent is to die for she's beautiful even while not in bloom and vigorous. when I received her from heirloom she was around 18-24" at the end of her first season she's over 5' in part sun she probably get about 5 hours of midday sun here in Ohio. You are going to want to train her she's already getting pretty bushy for me. If i were in charge at Heirloom I'd up my production of this rose I really don't know why she isn't everywhere!

Hard to find! Was in stock and sold out before I could place my order! Waiting patiently.

Not only is this rose beautiful, fragrant and prolific, it mocks Minnesota's harsh zone 4 winters.

Zone 8a-9a we get an ocean breeze but are in a suburb too. In WA state we get a ton of rain, and I'm not far from an actual rainforest. This rose doesn't get much blackspot, and is heedless of any invasion, be it weeds, grass, wind, rain, snow, or whatever. It's an amazing rose, and I have over 20 rose bushes. I am planning on buying a dozen more for the area between the sidewalk and the street. A shrub that is so prolific it is spilling onto the sidewalk, and everyone loves it!
