Planted in full sun in North Texas. Looks healthy and strong. Planted it in November 2023. All the roses I purchased from this company look healthy and some have all ready bloomed.
The Generous Gardener is planted by a trellis, placed by the previous owner, right in the middle of the back yard. it's a "perfect" spot for this beautiful rose. She is still a young planting, but already showing her delicate charm. She's revealed her soft beauty with a few blossoms this summer, her first season at our home. I am also thrilled at her resistance to disease---so important, especially so when working with a climbing rose, and when one hopes to have m-a-n-y roses. This rose is going to be a gorgeous "center piece"---in every sense and scent of the word.
To say that I am happy with this rose is an understatement of the year! It has had a very vigorous growth since planting, and it produces a very generous amount of blossoms throughout the growing season. The fragrance is lovely, and the blossoms are perfect in every way. I couldn't be happier--and now I'm off to see about building a support structure to handle this awesome beast of a rosebush!
It took me a year to get this in the ground (actually a pot) and it took off and bloomed right away. I have a large trellis in full sun with California heat and t TX he plant is thriving. The roses are gorgeous and lightly scented.
Why only 4 stars? The roses last only one day and they are white. I was looking forward to the pink.
