Dancing in the Dark Rose (D&D/DiTD):
This rose is a wonder.
Despite my lack of experience and the (honestly stupid) plan to plant this rose in straight clay ground, with no amendment an a tiny hole smaller than a vase, It has managed to thrive, literally doubling every growing season and throwing out at least one basal growth a year, complete with canes upon canes of spiky florals.

Blooms are great and healthy, though not as full as presented in pictures, and turn a much darker black as they mature, getting darker the longer they stay on. Ironically, most of this rose's blooms are short lived with the exception of breeder blooms (they have visibly stronger stems). When the blooms die, they tend to turn either, Black, purple, or Brown.

Rose consistently reblooms and it's heat tolerance is amazing:
It originally struggled with the heat In it's first year, but quickly learned it's best to drop its normal leaves for much smaller ones that can tide it over until fall, minimizing sun damage and heat stress. Interestingly, as soon as my D&D and Liberty Bells learned this strategy, (roughly at the same time), all the other roses in my garden started to do the same in a somewhat chain-link order

Vigor is amazing, but not without setbacks: It interestingly seems like the only way to actually slow down this rose is to "hurt" it.
Over pruning and excessive deadheading can create up to months without growth or malformed and weak blooms
*This comes from experience

Growth Diary:
2021: few small stems and consistent single blooms
2022: First Basal Cane and batch blooms during both growing seasons
2023: 3, 4-ish Basal canes with constant growth and two major blooms which were not slowed down by deadheading; One of the first 3 canes snapped off in a rainstorm and the rose just stopped growing. This happened between Jan-Feb and it finally started growing again sometime around May, blooming nonstop until summer
2024: Started off year blooming and is sending out more buds from pruned blooming stalks. will update

DECLARATION OF THE ROSES" GREIAVANCES AGAINST THE KING:
ok, so I guess here will be the spot where I list my roses' grievances, or rather how/why they died.
Please keep in mind, the majority of plants on this list died due to either inexperience or bad luck, as such, ill try to list what I've learned or how to avoid such deaths in order. Feel free to judge me, I'll understand.

TL;DR is that proper soil amendment, spacing, care, placement, and watering is required among other things. (it sounds like a given, but isn't always as you can see).

___2020-21, starting off___
-Iceberg: Mutual Disdain; I do not think it likes clay of any sort)

-Montezuma: Drip leakage throughout the day is bad in the sun state, shocker; make sure anyone living with you knows what to and NOT to do when dealing with your roses and MAKE SURE they tell you anything they do with them

-'heirloom' from Cert Roses (lilac pinkish blue rose): make sure to give your rose adequate space and amended soil or it WILL simply become a bonsai, which mine did before I discovered the wonders of a pickaxe in hard clay; Also, placement is key, don't put your roses in full, unfiltered sun. especially not in the desert. I'm surprised it lasted almost two years.

___2022, getting serious___
-Blue Girl: withered away in partial shade once, second attempt died of overfertilizing. *Try not to give your roses root burn, and try to minimize damage by diluting the plant food or repotting it in new soil)

-Sheila's Perfume, radiant perfume, Julia's Child, and Anna's Promise: All gifts from a loving aunt, all died for three big reasons. A: placement is important, dont put them in fullm unfiltered, AZ sun. B: PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE for the love of roses properly amend your soil to your environment; I thought if i threw clay on top of normal soil I would not need to water it as much and the roses would have heat protection, instead I managed to hotbox my roses and give them whitefly infestations, leading to C: give your plants and your soil proper local pest treatments, chemical or otherwise; If your sunflowers have a whitefly problem, chances are your roses will too
(Side note: I use clay soil because I've noticed I cant seem to grow anything besides sunflowers with normal soil outdoors, even with extra care. Its been a 5 year struggle I am open to suggestions)

-Celestial Night: Same as listed above, spacing, amendment, light and so forth were included; Also, this could be important, acclimate your roses if needed. If you bought a rose sitting in a shady nursery, it's not going to adapt instantly to a sunny location

___2023, stressful year___
- Two grocery Minis, Parade rose Karina and white Micro-Mini: Upkeep is a must. Change out the soil they come in and do not overfertilize really tiny roses, in fact, I recommend you cut the strength in half just to be safe

-Heirloom, Ardanne, Pop Art, St Patrick's, Paradise, Green Romantica, fry's yellow mini, and Mystery Rose (Prolly Talisman Cl): Split into two parts
*A, sometimes things are out of your control and the seasons decide to give you more than 30 days straight of 110 F (43.3 C), leading your roses to slowly wither away in front of your eyes right before the season ends
*B, That being said, there are some things you can do to minimize the damage and hold down the fort. You can choose placement or how you amend the soil in the lot, You can install seasonal shade posts to cover your roses and other florals, You can flood water in the afternoon or drip water at night, and you can opt for mulch for temperature protection (I chose wooden much bc it was cheaper and I'm a skeptic, but it did absorb a noticeable chunk of the water so ill see if I can fix that this year)

Iceberg;
Posted on my journal instead of the comments as i do not want to rain on any parade, im sure its just my own luck.
I have seen at least 3 (probably 4) people in my neighborhood grow this rose including myself. Only one of them has kept the rose for more than a year, and it is now thriving on their front patio. I was not so lucky.
I personally thought that such a tried and tested rose would do astounding in my garden and bought both the 'grandiflora' and 'miniature' versions of the rose (which still confuses me) and planted it in amended clay soil only for them to wither away after attempting to bloom with only 2 or 3 successful flowers. first went the buds, then the leaves, and eventually the whole plant. I'm obviously still bitter I spent so much time, it just didn't seem worth it.

TL;DR. I guess this rose just doesn't like clay

Liberty Bells review from a developing beginner:
Desert dwellers, do not recommend;
After almost 3 years, I can say this rose really isn't worth the hassle unless you have free space and irrigation to set up. That is essentially all that is required after the rose becomes established, which mine took 1.5 yrs to do.
Bought from a big box store and grown in (heavily) amended clay soil with abt 50% shade/dappled light in my 8b/9a garden, this rose certainly does not thrive, or even seem worth the effort, but when it blooms it blooms nicely with an almost velvety red flower.
Despite this, it is prone to dieback and absolutely refuses to push out either new leaves or canes unless it's a major growing season with convenient weather. The plant I bought came with interesting variegation that I had planned to prop as a sport, but said dieback w/lacking vigor has made it impossible to tell if it persists anywhere else on the rose.

It's quite a shame, but considering I've grown it this long, I guess I'll keep it around and see if it decides to die
