I cannot believe how many blossoms and buds I have on my Viking Queen climbing rose after planting it only 4 weeks ago. The scent is amazingly sweet and smells like a rose should. Awesome packing for shipment too. Worth every penny! Thank you.
I planted my Viking Queen when it arrived mid May. Added the fish emulsion and some bone meal. It’s mid June and it’s blooming! Beautiful
I live in what is suppose to be zone 5. However we live on a ridge in Jefferson Cty NC. Last winter we had wind chills down to minus 28 degrees that lasted for weeks. I had about 20 zone 5 plants in insulated pots and only 3 of them made it. So this year I looked for zone 3 and 4 roses. I bought this one as a climber. She looked kind of leggy when she arrived but since planting her she has climbed and added lovely buds that turned into beautiful roses. We are expecting minus freezing for the next several nights and did I mention the wind? It is now blowing 10-15 mph and expected wind gusts to 30-40. My lovely rose is in an insulated LARGE pot next to the west side of the house so the sun can get to her but also the west blowing wind. She produced a rose and another bud yesterday and they are now in a vase showing off how beautiful the rose is and the great smell she produces. Here's crossing my fingers!
I accidentally planted this in a bad spot, but it’s thriving! It has survived two Montana winters, but it’s doing so well that it will get to stay where it is.
