My Cinco de Mayo is a little darker red than the pictures here, probably because the soil in my yard turns several roses red. It is a beautiful, smoky color, and I love the ribbon-like effect of the petals. It blooms continuously and in flushes, so there are always multiple flowers on the shrub and often there are waves of blooms all open at once. It is stunning. My rose is in its second year. It is staying nicely compact, and has grown wider than it is tall. This rose is gorgeous, and it happily tolerates clay soil, strong winds, and snow.

Love the coloration of this rose. I have had it for 5 years. Blooms well in Texas heat. It does get some blackspot but continues to do well in my garden without spraying.

A tough, small, vigorous shrub with big color! I love the unusual, smoky color of the flowers. The leaves are pretty healthy. I have a no-spray garden, and Cinco de Mayo is a rose that might get mild black spot, but doesn’t seem troubled by it because it just keeps blooming.

(New gardener, new to roses). I ordered 4 roses (earth angel, bliss, adobe sunrise, and cinco de mayo), and got them in the ground about a month and a half ago. Cinco de mayo made the short list after seeing (and smelling) the rose in our zone 8b Fort Worth botanic gardens. The other roses are doing well (bliss really struggled at the beginning, but I think she has settled in and is going to pull through), but CDM is blowing them all out of the water. Putting on new growth and buds at a rate that seems quite vigorous compared to its brethren, despite the triple digit heat/humidity. She is only a baby in her freshman season, and I can’t wait to see what happens in the sophomore year if this is what the ‘sleep’ year looks like! (As a note, I have enjoyed spoiling my roses with bone meal, liquid compost, and fish fertilizer at the appropriate intervals, and I do l currently practice ‘no spray’)
