this is its first year so I will edit my experience as I go but so far its been great. The plant held up to spring cold snaps with ease and was the first to bloom. When it did it was a massive rich perfectly formed red with a light tea scent. The leaves are lovely and are a great value of green to competent the huge dee red flowers. The only issue I have found so far is the flowers collect rain then bend over completely and don't bounce back up. May just be a first year establishing thing so I cant judge to hard. It's quick to repeat so far and none of the flowers have been misshapen. Glad my dad jokingly convinced me to pick it up because "You can always use a red rose" this spring when I was starring at it for 10 mins and thinking.

I ended up with this bush by accident and though the scent is beautiful I find the tattered ruffles quite unattractive. For me it makes for a messy looking display I actively avoid spending any time looking at while watering. I was hoping it would at least produce some of the better looking blooms on here. This ones getting passed on to someone who wants it for something cleaner looking especially if its a BS magnet like other comments have pointed out. Space is limited so I need labels to be accurate.

a workhorse rose that doest give up. I got this at home depot and in its first year it was a bush by season end. It was always pushing out sprays of flowers that transform for bright yellow to orange, red and magenta. it got hit bad with something one year and had a bad winter but after a little recovery got right back into bush mode. the forms are really cupped and frilly. a very cheery plant that holds up well in 7B with our hot humid summers.
