I planted this rose at the beginning of the summer here outside Philadelphia and I’m so impressed with its growth! I have a white stucco colonial that faces southeast with zero shade, so my front beds get A LOT of sun and have to endure the heat reflected off the house. This rose LOVES it, and can even tolerate some drought, I’ve found. It has been throwing off new growth constantly throughout this summer, even during dry spells. I love the color and the fragrance is amazing! I was expecting only to get a few blooms this first year, but I’ve gotten about 10 3”-5” flowers along with the prolific growth. The only downside is that the blooms shatter easily, but honestly, that’s not enough to negate all the good things about this rose.
I planted three Savannah rose bushes two years ago. They bloomed the first year but this year they are covered in blooms! Very little disease issues even in our hot humid climate (Zone 8b, South Carolina). The blooms are beautiful and the fragrance is captivating. Absolutely love having these in my garden.
I bought it last year, I put fertiliser this year, it has a lot of blooms /flowers, it is very healthy and beautiful plant!
Planted February 2024 in my parents’s central Florida garden, zone 9b/10. It has thrived in-spite of a hot, dry Spring and summer. Finally getting some rain and she is so lovely. I usually like to give it a year or two before giving a review but like my title says, I am already impressed.
