This is the most prolific miniature rose I have ever grown. It blooms non-stop and I love the way the color changes as the bloom matures. It is like having several roses in one. I live on the coast of Oregon where the winters are mild but I was surprised that the rose kept blooming a few roses even in the winter. The roses are placed up against the face of my house where it must have kept warm enough to bloom through out the winter. In spring through fall this rose is in constant bloom with at least a dozen blooms at a time. I have just purchased the non-climber and hope it is as vigorous as this rose. At less than three years this rose is at least 6 feet tall. I had to buy a trellis due to the unusually vigorous growth. Nor'East use to sell the climber but now it is harder to find and much more expensive. You can't go wrong with this miniature.
