My Vincent Godsiff is 6 ft high and was 4 ft wide before I pruned it (Houston, TX area). This is a survivor rose! Extremely heat and drought tolerant. No disease or insect problems. In a mild climate it blooms year round even in the winter. The bloom color is neon hot pink - very striking color. If you are tired of high maintenance roses that lack vigor and have unhealthy foliage and dieback - get this rose! It should be an Earthkind rose.

This rose has been covered in black spot since it was planted in the fall, which spread black spot to all my roses close by. I sprayed it a lot with a fungicide, and used a systematic fertilizer to help prevent black spot - nothing worked. Very unhealthy and lacking in vigor. I had to shovel prune it - no choice. I live in Houston, TX area.

Thank you for your comment on your experience with Bolero rose in Houston. I'm also in Houston and Bolero was on my list. Will have to reconsider.
From where did it come from? Online order or purchased locally?

Has anyone grown this rose in a pot and if so for how long? Thanks.

If you haven’t got the room but would like to grow the rose, yes, put it in a pot and perhaps every five years strike another cutting to replace it if it seems strangled. Rosette Delizy grows well from cuttings for me. Just choose a pot with a large opening, rather than a narrow one.

Would this grow well in a large pot in part shade?

Definitely very suitable for pot culture, since it's very compact. It may not grow over 18" tall, ever. Very compact, but with medium-large blooms with a hundred petals. Fragrance wafts for up to 6 feet away. Blooms with 1-2 flowers, but in short spurts throughout the growing season. Doesn't like HOT.
