I love this rose! I must admit when I first saw the flower buds I wasn’t too happy, they were bright Orange - not my favorite color - and I couldn’t perceive any fragrance at all! Hmm. . . BUT - when this beauty opened it turned a wonderful soft coral and the gorgeous blooms lasted for well over a week in the vase, getting more beautiful by the day. 3 years and two rose bushes later I still can’t smell any fragrance, but that is forgiven for the sheer beauty of the flowers. I live in coastal Central Florida, and I’ve badly neglected both of my rose bushes but they have continued to thrive and produce lovely bouquets year after year.
The form, the color, the long stems, the fragrance all comes together for the perfect Hybrid Tea.
I have had this rose before and moved and ordered 2 from Heirloom. Both are beautiful in one year. In Seattle, WA Planted and treated as instructed on line.
Hardy, beautiful and fragrant, everything you could ask for in a rose. I planted it 20+ years ago and until my daughter moved it, from the old house and transplanted it in early winter, it was going strong. It put on new growth and then the coldest winter in a long time hit us. The jury is still out, but it may still survive.
