I have had this rose since 1995 and it has survived severe neglect and finally good care. It’s blooms are huge the stems are strong and it has been through an infestation of scale. This rose has been quite a survivor.
Zone 6
I have bought MANY roses from Heirloom Roses and this is, by far, the most stunning. I am in Zone 9A Florida (VERY hot). Most of these yearling roses struggle the first year in the heat and this one has been no different. It has not grown much and blooms sporadically, but when it does... WOW! They don't look real the color is so vivid. People think I've modified the color in pictures of these blooms they look so electric. I can't wait for this plant to grow more and bloom more often. I've planted it right by the driveway so I don't miss a bloom! I haven't noted much of a fragrance and it is susceptible to black spot, but most roses are here in Florida. The blooms are worth the wait, go for this rose if you are considering it!
These blooms are treasures. I have nothing mediocre to say about this bush. I over-pruned it one year and it never came back, just tragic. I have 23 different rose bushes and all of them are so beautiful, but Voodoo stood out above the rest.
