So far, so good. I have had so many challenges I am gun-shy but leaves are looking good. I planted in early July (yes, late....hoping for the best.)
I planted two of these the first week in March. It’s now mid-April and they are already blooming. They smell soooo good. Like a classic rose.
Hands down to Louise! I think she could be classified to a zone 4 rose. I’m in 5b and we had a very harsh and extremely long winter. Louise was my first girl to show signs of life about a week and a half ago. She grew the largest out of my 7 heirloom roses I ordered last year and bloomed repeatedly for her first year. Every cane is almost completely green again, I’m beyond thrilled. The blooms are beautiful and I can’t wait to see how well she does this summer.
I am new to roses, but have been reading and using this site to learn. I planted in the Spring, and it quickly bloomed. The color is lovely, and it really does look like it came out of some ancient garden.
