This rose didn't even last long enough to bloom in my garden. I've replaced it with "Sweet Pea", which is very new, but seems more vigorous already.

My Aunt Margy's came as a small plant which I'm growing up in a pot, using organic fertilizers. It is about 1 ft x 1 ft and always has about 5 buds and / or open very fragrant blossoms. It even bloomed during our chilly rainy Winter with no disease. I live in the San Francisco area. It seems easier to grow up than some other polyanthas.

Thanks for the info. I keep that in mind for my next Burlington roses order.

Does anyone know if Aunt Margy's Rose is heat tolerant?

It certainly is heat tolerant. We live in zone 9B and have many days over 100 degrees in the Summer. It always has flowers on it in the Spring thru Fall seasons.

Tooth Fairy is a large continuous blooming rose. It seems to love the heat.

It loves the heat and doesnt seem to mind the cold either. Winter 2023, tip hardy and -7 with biting -40 windchill that cut almost everything else to the ground. Unprecedented die-back on SO MANY roses, but Tooth Fairy emerged unscathed. Because of this she has put on size since posting pics and now exceeds 5.5ft in both height and width with no signs of stopping! Lots of dead cane underneath and doesnt mind a prune. After this first flush, shell be brough into bounds again. Her growth is slow and steady. LOVE this rose!!!

After another fairly cold winter , the tooth fairy has again proven it's worth. However short and spreading would not be a description I would use. She's grown into a huge plant Probably 6' tall and at least as wide. She does take well to pruning but Seems to have a great Hedge quality if allowed to grow to her Capacity.

This is not a Florabunda. Mine does not bloom in clusters. It has large 5" single blooms. A new favorite of mine--but please reclassify it whoever has the power.

The nurseries offer it as a floribunda, with clustered blooms. Some of their photos show a few blooms together. Can you post photos?

The hybridizer or introducer determines the class of the rose, not the admins of this website. Sometimes the assigned class seems arbitrary and illogical.

Yes, the plant patent is for a floribunda

I believe that anyone who bought this from Heirloom Roses did not receive the correct variety. The picture posted by Deborah's Rose Garden is the "Spiced Coffee" we all obtained and it is no where close to the description. The color is more cream blending into a pink edge and definitely not a lavender shading into coffee.
Whatever it is, I think it is a good rose for my area (Iowa) - always in bloom, nicely shaped blooms, clustered, sets hips. The issue is it just is not what they sold it to be and they should stop selling it as Spiced Coffee. It would be nice to figure out what variety it is but my internet "research" has not come up with anything specific.

How very sad. In all the years I ordered roses from the Clements I never received a mislabeled plant.

I have received several that were not like the original rose that I had years ago. This is just one of them. The other was Fire and Ice. They have the wrong Mother Plants.
