    Kazanlik grows like a climber and does well with some support. The flowers smell amazing! The shrub struggled with mildew in year one but has had no problems since that first fall. For me, it only blooms once in spring, but that spring bloom lasts a while and smells amazing.

    This one of the eight plants I ordered.
    Positive factors:
    1. Plants were well packed.
    2. Plants look healthy with many new growths.
    3. Own root plants
    Negative:
    Plants are too small. Could have been bigger and more mature stems. I may have to wait for minimum of a year to see few flowers.

    I hope the flowers are as expected. Zone 9B – California. I am giving only 4 stars and will change my review after the plants start to bloom.

    Very healthy and prolific bloomer. The blooms are a lovely shade of pink and the scent is fabulous. I wish the old roses bloomed throughout the season, but they put on quite a show in the spring and I always look forward to the following spring to see those blooms return.

    An absolute stunner. The only once-blooming rose I keep, and it’s well-worth the trade in repeat flushes for the intense cloud of fragrance this rose produces each year. The bloom flush lasts 2 weeks or so (longer if spring rains cooperate) and blooms are intensely fragrant. The scent intensifies if you dry the petals and can be easily steeped fresh to make rosewater. The bush itself is VERY healthy, shrugging off blackspot (literally, none) without a care in my no-spray & humid Zone 7a garden. She’s absolutely covered in blooms late spring, flowering alongside irises and baptista. During Covid I let pruning go, and she naturally topped out in a lightly arching bush form around 6′ tall, stretching about the same in width (at the crown). This is not a rose you’ll have to hack back, her canes have stayed a trim 1′ in width at soil level. One winter the deer pruned it back to 1′, and she rebounded beautifully the following spring. A must-grow.
