Zone 6: In the Sept. cool and rain it is growing fast and blooming every day. I am very happy with it and am ordering more roses from Heirloom today.

This is a very pretty rose, mine is more pink/peach and is dainty and compact. The rose lasts well on the busy. I have had no disease issues. Planted in zone 7 and is now a year old rose. Handled the winter well. It is a small upright bush.

Zone 6: I planted this in late June just as it got very hot -up to 100 degrees in Oklahoma. I did make a big effort to amend the planting hole with compost , manure and humus, add mychorrizidhal fungus, use only a top dressing of organic slow release fertilizer ( Milorganite ). I was taking no chances, Despite the fact that I was warned that it might not bloom till next year I discovered 2 lovely blossoms today-less than 2 weeks later ! I'm a lifelong admirer of William Morris so it is fun to have this rose in the garden.
The color is soft and lovely. The blooms are small and very delicate. No black spot and it has been raining. I think that it will be just lovely next spring.

This rose was first given to me in 2001 in memory of my son, William J. Morris IV. It lasted until we moved in 2017. My husband located Heirloom Roses company and much to our surprise, they carry this beautiful English rose. We now live in the south zone 8A. It is just as beautiful here as it was in NY. Thank you for still carrying this beautiful rose , it's history has such meaning.
