This rose didn't grow very much . The stems are very fragile, and they are not strong enough to hold up the bloom. The bloom itself was gorgeous. Color is to die for but again the stems flopped over because it could not hold the weight of the bloom.

I was really skeptical but the plant arrived and after allowing it to acclimate in a shaded area, I planted it in full sun. It seems to be thriving!! Leafing out and with some extra watering (we are in a dry period-unusual for Florida in the summer) growth seems very hopeful!! I’m impressed. Can’t wait for blooms!!

East Coast 7a, experienced rosarian. Received my Souv. Linc. exactly one month ago and immediately got him re-hydrated and planted in a sheltered location with almost full sun until about 3pm; other than that, haven't fussed over him at all. One month later... he's doubled in size and I have my first bloom! Absolutely heavenly deeply complex rose fragrance, lovely form and depth of color. I'm about to hit all my roses with some Heirloom Founder's Fish Fertilizer, so I can't wait to see what Souv. Linc. delivers in the next year. Heirloom, you've earned my loyalty and then some!

This is one of the few once-blooming roses I keep - the flowers are fat and gorgeous (pictures here are accurate) and the fragrance is incredible. It gets ginormous fast. If it were a continual bloomer I would give it 5 stars.

I discovered to my dismay that there are roses who's scent I cannot discern. Thankfully this rose is not one of them! I planted this rose early this spring and it has already put out huge blossoms with heads so heavy the new stems can barely hold them up. I've brought the blooms indoors to relive the plant and the scent is incredible. The color is a unique pink with purple depth. I love this rose.
