Planted this rose in a container in May and wasn't expecting much to happen this year. To my surprise, the rose has been in constant bloom since the beginning of July. I wish I could post a photograph.
This rose grows vigorously in Las Vegas, NV. Second year and it is 4 feet high and loaded with blooms. This is the second house where I have planted it. Very fragrant. Not the greatest cut flower, bur one of my favorite roses.
This rose, which I planted last spring, survived the triple digit summers here in AZ. I did end up draping a shade cloth over it in late July. It has probably tripled in size and has produced quite a few blooms. Very happy with it!
Also from the Pacific Northwest. My Malmaison has done pretty well for ten or fifteen years - now about 5’ x 5’. Agree with the comment that it does not take well to heavy pruning; didn’t know that earlier and pruned heavily. Poor flower year, but fortunately recovered. Also, a wet stretch when the flower buds are just opening will rot those thickening buds, which of course is a downside in this climate, but usually the summers are dry and the bloom is steady and gorgeous.
