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.

They color doesn't fade so much as it just completely changes- from vivid orange to bright hot pink.

Could anyone tell me if the "bright hot pink" Easy Does It becomes, mentioned in the above comment, is a screaming fluorescent neon pink, like Dream Come True becomes? I don't mind hot pink, like Perfume Delight or Pink Peace but as much as I love the early stages of Dream Come True, the last stage is too glaring for me. And it reaches that stage quickly in my garden.

The ending color isnt very bright. The new petals are the brightest.

I came across this informative blogpost about the real Mme. Isaac Péreire, when I was doing a genealogy search (my husband's related). It was a such a fun read, I thought I'd share: http://the-history-girls.blogspot.com/2013/02/the-names-of-ladies-of-roses-by-louisa.html
