I’m in zone 8a MS/AL state line. I planted this in a pot around 10/10/24 and it quickly put on foliage. November 6, 2024 she got her first bloom. Then this bloom in the picture, bloomed Nov 16, 2024 and has lasted over a week 1/2! 13 days and still hanging on! I planted with Black Kow manure, soil, and organic compost. I am just stunned! I cannot detect a scent as of now.
This is one of three Roses I gifted to my daughter. She loves them and they are continuing to grow more foliage. She used the recommended nutrients when planting. She Absolutely LOVES the way the Mint Compost smells!!! It is Autumn here now, so they may not bloom until next Spring. She can’t wait to see the beautiful Plum colored flowers!!
This rose color is super beautiful! Within months of planting it had three roses in bloom. The color is a rich dusky purple. The leaves as it matures are big and super healthy. No yellowing or black spot at all. Nice long string stems for a beautifu cut rose in a bud vase. Was so happy I bought two more, another for me and one as a gift!
