  1. Allicia Ocampo

    Midwest, zone 6a. Planted in spring 2019. Established well, floriferous in spring, not much repeat, but loaded in spring and bonus, nice hips in fall. Maybe would flower well with additional deadheading. I have pegged mine as it started growing in that shape on its own, very healthy plant.

    Just planted this spring in a spot with afternoon shade (z5/6, Intermountain West), and it has taken off. It didn’t bloom this first year, but it has some good canes including a long one that I’m training on a pillar. Seems healthy and happy so far.

    This is one of the most beautiful roses I have ever grown. It looks just like its photo–a deep, rich shade of dark red, on the cool side. As its description suggests, it is happy in shade. I hope to buy another. Last summer our large maple lost a huge branch, crushing this rose. I saved the broken canes and they easily rooted in a rich peat soil mix. And the mother plant is recovering, too. I live in zone 5 and this rose easily survives our winters, although this winter I did give her a rose cone just for a bit more insurance. She is hard to find and I would not want to lose her!
