It will take more than 1 season for this plant to get going, but once you see the blooms you’ll forget all about the slow growth. Once established, it repeats well. The plant prefers partial shade in my zone 10b/coastal garden. I

This is a really charming rose you can easily fall in love with. My mail delivery lady admired it so much I gave it to her and now need to buy another for me.

My Gruss an Aachen from High Country is less than a year old but has taken hold well in a light-dappled shady spot. I had this rose at another property where it had beautiful, sweet-smelling blooms and stayed very healthy despite a lack of very much direct sun so I am counting on a repeat performance…so far so good.
