Positive	skiekitty	On Jul 4, 2009, skiekitty from Parker, CO (Zone 5b) wrote: I got this as a bagged bareroot from Lowes in the extreme early spring 09. I soaked it overnight and then planted it as soon as the ground was soft enough to work (late March). Took the extreme cold snap we had in the spring (it went down to -15F!) and came back.. well, roses! It's now about 2.5ft tall and growing like a weed. The roses have nice beautifully long canes so they make GREAT cutting roses.. and they hold their blooms FOREVER! I had to call Certified Rosers out of Tyler, TX to get information on this rose as I couldn't find anything about it ANYWHERE! I definitely love this rose! As the rose ages, it turns more coral colored, but I've had a rose bloom on the cane now for almost 2 weeks with extreme weather (HEAVY rains/wind/hail, then extreme heat) and it's holding up like a trooper!
