Fourth season, 2023, zone 5b
Very prolific & healthy growth, dozens of basal breaks in 2023, thick strong canes with LOTS of single & multiple blossoms, attracts a lot of bees. Jas responded very well to fertilization & spraying for mildew prevention.
Far taller than the 4’ expected. Several canes are over 6’. Right now, at about 4’ wide.
HR described as ‘very fragrant’, but I would say in 4 summers, my experience has been little to no scent, which is disappointing, as that is one of the primary reasons I selected this variety.
Very beautiful & healthy plant, just the same.
I ordered 2 of these in 2019, they took a couple years to settle and were amazing last spring! I had to trim them back a few times over summer because the limbs were growing so tall they would bend over! Have beautiful photos if you’d like to see!
This arrived in June 2020 in a 1 gallon pot. The roots were not well established. I transplanted it to a 3 gal non-woven pot in nicely amended soil, & placed it in the location I am wanting to plant it in this autumn. It is doing exceptionally well, giving off flowers 2 months after planting.
I will say that I thought it was a true white/red stripe, but it is definitely a tri-color- red/pink/white. Still, very pretty. The blossoms so far are what I would call ‘moderately’ scented.
