I bought this rose in June of 2009 at a local plant sale. It was wrapped loosely in a piece of burlap and tied with twine. Not a very promising start. I planted it the same day in full sun with excellent soil and drainage, tied to a wrought iron fence that I want it to spill over. One 3' cane and a small withered bud that never opened was what I got last year. Coned and mulched for winter. This Spring it put out 1 nice bloom, I cut it back to a 5-leaf and it later sent out a 5-budded spray. Nice cupped and quartered blooms, deep red color, not much fragrance, clean deep green glossy foliage. I'll give a couple more years to see what happens.

2011: It sent out 1 more cane and several flowers that never really opened fully. I don't think it likes our Indiana weather. The buds turn brown and dry out before they get a chance to bloom properly. Maybe the "cabbage-shaped" roses aren't meant to grow this far north. I didn't "cone" it or anything for Winter. If it dies, it dies. I'm tired of fussing with this thing. It either grows well this Summer or it's outta here. I would not recommend this rose to a northern gardener.
