We have old garden roses almost exclusively but we fell for this one at Chamblee's. It has survived one humid East Texas summer and a harsh winter (for us anyway) and is blooming up a storm this spring. We have had no disease problems with this rose, probably because of it's windy western location in our garden. It is fragrant and gorgeous in the afternoon sun.

Extremely easy to care for, doesn't seem to mind extreme heat (here in CO it's been miserable this summer) and drought (I've been stingy with the water as my bill is ridiculous already). New buds are a breath-taking neon orange opening up to a luscious rosey yellow/white and, as time takes it's toll, seems to deepen almost to a magenta color. I'm *so* very happy with this rose.. let's just see how it handles our winter.
Update - June 09. OMG, this is the bomb as far as roses go! Handled our extreme spring like a major trooper.. we had no "winter" as to say, with only like 1 day where it got below -10, and then we had a HARD spring with one day literally in the 80s, and the next day the low for the night was -15!!! Talk about the Dark Side of the Moon as far as temperature differences! Anyways, this rose came through and is blooming like mad already.. I've added a new picture and it's, if I may say so myself, breathtaking! I LOVE this rose!!
