Affirm is a beautiful rose. The bush is vigorous and healthy and winter hardy with no added protection in my zone 5b/6a midwest garden. The blooms are extremely large and in warm weather bloom into flowers with superlative exhibition qualities--pinpoint centers, highcentered form, and perfect color. The flower has so many petals that it takes dry heat to get them to open completely. The flowers don't water spot in the rain. To get this rose free of RMV virus I would suggest getting it from Wisconsin Roses.

thank you for the zone info. I wanted to grow this but wasn't sure about the climate zone.

I have only had Pope John Paul for a few months but I believe it is going to be a wonderful rose. It is disease resistant, wants full sun and has a wonderful scent. My bush is too young to have a full sized bloom, but I am hopeful.

When you say disease resistant, do you men w/ no fungicides?
