Hi Again!
I can't find any information about the repeat on this rose. Neither Hortico nor HMF say anything about it, and you are the only one posting pics of this rose. It looks lovely, though...how does it repeat for you, Beth?

I am not the person that you asked about this rose, but I am going to say that I think it probably blooms repeatedly through the season. All of my once-bloomers got hit by the freeze in April and did not bloom this year, but my repeat bloomers are now blooming along with The Nightwatch, so my guess is that it repeats through the season.

Thank you for taking time to reply to my question. This looks like a lovely and unusual rose, but it is nice to find out a bit about a rose before ordering.
Regards,
sally

This is one of the best roses in my hot inland valley (CA) garden. It is a beautiful shrub--well foliaged with never any blackspot, which is a common problem here (I do not spray). In addition it is probably the best performer for continuous bloom, and that includes during prolonged spells of temps above the century mark. The bloom not only continues, but the roses stay beautiful and do not crisp or brown in heat! I love this rose! I have observed this rose in my garden for approximately 10 years now.

Thank you! This was very useful for me, I'm in the SFV. :) The reviews on the heirloom website were in zone 5 & 6. I was looking for how Safari would do in triple digit temperatures.

This looks like a gorgeous rose, and obviously does well in cold conditions., but I am wondering how it does in heat? We are in an inland valley in California where summer temps are often above 90. Thanks!

I had Rhode Island Red in Minnesota and took it with me when we moved back to Georgia. It has done fine in the heat and humidity so far (three years). It appreciates afternoon shade, though. The bright, hot sun here tends to fry the edges of many deep red flowers.

My Wild Rover is in a large pot and I need to get it in the ground. Can anyone tell me if it will need support, or can I grow it as a free standing shrub? Thanks for any info anyone might be able to offer!

I prune my Wild Rover with special large toothed hedge trimmers to about 4 feet every spring. It gets to about six to seven feet tall by fall. It is a huge bush that needs a lot of space. It blooms continuously all summer.
