This is a tall "single leader" rose. It's got a nice fruity HT fragrance, though not as a heady as Double Delight or Fragrant Cloud. DW...Read More loves the orange/reddish blooms on this rose! They do look nice against the darker foliage, and this is a good rose for beginners - very easy and about as disease-free as you can get.
I picked-up this plant at the farm center - we were getting potasium for our water softner and some dog food and I was looking around the...Read More very small "garden center" and found this lonely rose, one small bud, beautiful color, so I bought it and planted it just outside the entry to the veggie garden, alongside the kiwi vines. Well, in this pacific northwest maritime climate (I am in the San Juan Islands) it worried me because it got black spot and as a Master Gardnerer I had incorrectly told clients with black spot, get rid of it, it's dying. Well I was so wrong, when I spotted it on my baby voodoo I picked the leaves off and destroy them, I knew where it had come from but I decided to cure it.
I babied it, cut it way back in the winter, cleaned all the ground around it and mounded 5" of compost around it and left for the winter. No black spot for a couple of years (but it's back), so it's now time again to baby the baby. I have decided that for those species suseptlable to black spot it is almost inevitable in the PNW.
It has a fantastic scent and I truly love this plant - it's a trooper, this is not a nice climate most of the year.

Nevada sun/ wind fades out blooms in a couple days but plenty of flowers. A little powdery mildew easily controlled.
I love this rose. It grows very tall in my garden, much taller than the listed 48 inches. I prune it hard in January and try and keep i...Read Moret pruned to stay lower all summer but it can get to 6 feet tall if I take a trip! LOL! Then I need a ladder to cut it back a bit.
We had a rare hard freeze that killed the tree that used to shade this rose and the rose didn't do as well in 2011. I think it needs some shade in climates with good light like here in NM.
