Brown to the ground for me- first winter in zone 5b. Not sure if it's still alive or not, but April 19 2025 it's completely brown. I'll wait and see.
Acquired around June 2024 as a bareroot from Tractor Supply- had a decent first summer and was in bloom pretty much until fall. Struggled a bit with some blackspot and yellowing leaves- but not terribly. Had a really nice smell and it was probably my favorite red rose besides Munstead Wood- which gets preference for sentimental reasons.
