Transferred from large planter in part shade to in-ground bed in sun/shade mix. Heatwave (10 days of 95+ with warm nights) did not significantly affect vigor, surprising for an English-bred rose. Am hoping that giving it a large trellis and a larger area for root run will make it happier. In its first year (planted bare root Spring 2022) it has consistently sent out long, whippy growth, resists being trained in a shrubbier form. Flowers are beautiful color and shape; despite reviews and public opinion fragrance is weak and unappealing (to me). Has flowered consistently since spring despite tip pruning and disbudding (to encourage roots). Because in-ground bed has poor drainage, soil dug to 24 inches and amended with grit and organic matter, then mounded.
Have this growing across a garden arch from Gislaine de Feligonde. Planted as a bare root this spring and have had several flushes of bloom. Seems very hardy and disease resistant. The blooms are closer to a cream/very soft yellow due to summer temperatures. I can't wait to see the color when temps cool down. This garden arch will be absolutely stunning in a few years!
