  1. Denver area

    My Fred Loads is 4 yrs old. It is not cane hardy here in Colorado zone 5. However, it comes back strong each year and has survived a -20F winter. Last year it was 8.5′ tall, clipped to a trellis. It does shoot out very long canes. The blooms are brilliant orange. I would buy this rose again for the stunning concentration of color that makes it look like a flaming torch.

    This is a fantastic rose. In two years it has grown to 7 feet tall and 5 feet wide, overgrowing our fence. It handles our brutal spring winds and night freezes with no dye-back of canes. Our winter temperatures get into the teens (F), and sometimes into the single digits. Starting in the spring and throughout the summer and fall it is covered with clusters of pure salmon-orange blooms.

    this is my first year with Fred. Upon planting in a 12 inch pot it immediately took off. I decided I needed it in a larger pot so I made up a mix and went to transplant. The bottom of the soil in the 12in pot fell of taking many roots with it. The rose couldn’t care less it finished developing flowers that where in bud and kept putting out leaves and shoots like nothing happened. So far no signs of black spot even though the rest of the garden seems ot have gotten it during the cool snap this August. Flowers are glowing orange that fade to a rich salmon. So far not many flowers but it’s less than a full year and the vigor is apparent. cannot wait to see it in a year. Currently this over achiever has sent out an 8+ foot cane out of nowhere. Very pleased with this rose.

    Very vigorous rose, grows pretty tall. Has lots of thorns too. But when it blooms those orange blooms that fade to salmon, are so beautiful. Very pleased with it.
