Oh Wildeve! Darby, Ambridge and even Heritage wish they had the form, fragrance and beauty you have. Elegant and with one of my favorite flower forms in my garden. I adore this rose!!!

We had barely gotten this plant in the ground when it started to produce buds! The very first bloom was perfect! I was not sure I would like this rose much as I lean more toward the classic looking roses like Dolly Parton, Tiffany etc. But I immediately fell deep in love with this little number and she has broadened my perspective!

Out of the three bushes I bought the same year (the other two were hybrids, but zoned the same), this is the only bush that hasn't had massive die-back from our cold winters. Now three years in, it's a gorgeous bushy shrub (thanks to some careful interweaving of canes) with glossy green leaves and pretty new red growth absolutely COATED in these lovely fragrant old-style roses. My only sigh is that I have to fence it in to keep the deer from nibbling off every last bit of the new growth.
