I'm in Zone 6b and planted this rose last spring. The rose did pretty well all things considered - it is not disease resistant and we had a horrible round of black spot last year. Both of these roses did fine and continued to bloom despite the black spot. The blooms were not very frequent, but it did bear multiple blooms at once throughout the season. The blooms are very pretty and last exceptionally long - it is not unusual for this rose to have blooms that last longer than 10 days. I enjoyed the scent, although it is not very strong. I did not see much growth from either of these roses, but did not expect much considering they both had black spot. Both roses did survive the winter and are starting to grow new shoots now.

This rose has been a very pleasant surprise for me. I bought it on a whim because I thought the bloom colors were interesting, but didn't really expect much. This has been one of the fastest growing and best blooming roses I own. I planted it last spring and it just shot up. It was also the first of my roses to bloom after winter (it started getting new growth in February in Ohio). It is unfortunately NOT very disease resistant, but it didn't seem to slow it down one bit. The blooms are very pretty - they are a peachy orange with hints of pink and tiny little flecks of purple. I enjoyed the scent, and it blooms frequently as well. I don't think these would make a very good cut flower, but overall I like the rose enough to purchase another.
