I bought 4 of these to fill in trellises along my patio (zone 7). The first year I had a few blooms in Spring and that was it. Second year it grew a lot and produced a ton of blooms in May. I’m not sure if cool, rainy nights contributed to black spot. It dropped all its leaves and then produced a few blooms in July. This year, it has done the same thing. I wish I had researched more about the black spot because now all I see all Summer is empty canes.

I bought my Zepherine rose in 2023.. It was just a stick but I followed planting instructions and dug what I call a $100 hole. In she went and within a day or two she took off like a race horse and even gave me a bloom or two. This year she's 4 feet up.my arbor and putting out several strong new cane's. The smell in the early evening, when the shade finally hois that area, is truly heavenly. Wish I had more room for another. This was a great purchase!

I have three of these bushes over 10 years old now, though I'm not sure they are from Heirloom. I'm in zone 7a, Central VA and do battle black spot with them, although not as badly as in some of the roses. I also find each year that I have to cut quite a bit back due to both the black spot and die back, so they don't get quite as tall as I'd like for them to get. To be fair, over the years the shade coverage has increased - I believe they would do better with more sun than they are getting (about 5 hours a day now). The smell is amazing, the rose is beautiful in color, and gosh, thornless - that's delightful. This picture is from the early days with no shade coverage and shows two bushes, one on each side of the arbor. I would not say a continual bloomer, however, but more of a repeat bloomer.

Planted in 6b 100 degree heat last summer with Heirloom products and instructions. She quickly took off to 2ft with Hot pink flowers beckoning across the yard. Her petals flatten out with maturity. In addition, she has a delicious Bourbon rose scent that I adore. She is planted where the dreaded walnut leaves sometimes land but has carried on with her wonderful self.

I call her Dru. Last year, once planted, she grew over the trellis and had 3 or 4 blossums. This year I have so many fragrant roses! I am thrilled. I have had a problem with black spot but I am treating all of the roses with good result.
