After about a year in the ground, and admittedly likely that long in the shipping pot first, out of the 6 I have - at least one is over 6'tall and absolutely covered in breathtaking blooms, the rest are nearly that tall and covered in blooms as well. The color of the flowers ranges from a neon pink to yellow depending on the age of the bloom. It is hard to describe just how beautiful these flowers are! And the fragrance is amazing too. I have experienced some bug issues so the plants are still a bit leggy, but now that the bugs are nearly gone these babies are branching out and blooming their heads off!

I live on the northwest coast of Hawaii island so weather here is 80 - 85* daytime highs, 60's for nightime lows year round and mostly sun. They have drip irrigation, but I don't overwater and this is desert area here (under 20"rain/year). We experience incredible winds, but these roses, as well as all my Heirloom roses don't seem to care at all, even when it gusts up to 70 mph! I have all my roses mulched with Heirloom mint compost and fertilize with Heirloom fish emulsion 1st year, and the Boost & Bloom after that. I amend our rocky, sandy, nasty dirt with composted manure, peat, bone meal and a good soil when planting. They seem to be thrilled with that good start because they all pay me back with luscious blooms.

To other reviewers - please post your growing location, etc. as that tells other buyers a lot about where the rose grows well or doesn't.

I love this company! I have received another healthy rose that has grown an incredible amount of foliage since I received the rose one week ago! I am grateful to find a Heart ‘O Gold rose to replace one in my yard that died. Thanks again Heirloom Roses!

I first saw Heart o Gold at a rose festival and was very impressed with both the gorgeous bloom and the fabulous fragrance. I purchased three plants from Heirloom Roses. They are all producing nice blooms but they have barely any fragrance at all, so that is disappointing.

The rose is beautiful, as pictured, but I was disappointed in the scent

I so wish I could post a picture of my "Heart of Gold" rose here. I lost it a few years back after a wicked winter. Most beautiful rose I've ever grown and I've grown my share of roses!! If there is a way to submit a picture please let me know...
Warmly,
Felicia
