I live in zone 8 North Washington state.
Our first Peter Mayle rose grew nearly 7 feet tall with 5-6 inch flowers last summer 2023. It has the most beautiful fragrance and is the healthiest of all our roses. I love it so much my husband ordered two more last year. We planted them late summer one grew about a foot and gave roses, the other we planted in an area where the ground is sandy it did not grow as well so we will transplant it this year.

Our weather in the summer is inconsistent sometimes more rain or sun than others. This plant has survived it all and while it blooms more some summers than others it still blooms and is beautiful.

The blooms grow at the mid to upper top of plant.
It is a hardy plant and one I can count on giving plenty of blooms, love it!

I planted 19 roses from Heirloom Roses in 2023. My roses were in the ground 6/21, and I had my first bloom 6/29 (Marmalade Skies). By 7/16 (yesterday), all 19 plants have at least 1 bud - about half are actively blooming. One of my Earth Angel plants was two bare sticks when planted, and now is full of foliage with multiple buds. Everyone is shocked at how quickly and prolifically these roses are growing. All of the blooms so far have been small and the colors are not quite what they will eventually be, but this is to be expected. The more blooms each plant has, the closer to the picture they are getting. I cannot wait to see my rose garden next summer - and many summers to come!

I am in the PNW, zone 8b. I underestimated how large a 2'x2' hole was, lots of digging. I used the Get Growing Bundle with manure, mint compost, bone meal, and fish fertilizer. Mixed natural soil with peat moss and organic rose soil. Set up a drip irrigation system which gives plants 1 gal per morning during these hot months, will back off as the plants establish.

I bought this rose last year, because I believed it would stand the heat in our Texas zone 9A. It bloomed first year even after we moved to zone 8B! Dug up transplanted this past fall and it was gorgeous! It's also overwintering here well. Can't wait to see Peter in action this Spring!

In its second year this rose is covered in buds, even though it’s not very tall. Good fragrance as well. It gets lots of sun.

Bought plant in fall of 2020 and didn’t really see anything until spring of 2021. Gorgeous, huge blooms and amazingly fragrant. Nice, hearty petals and green, leafy bush. Can’t wait till she fully matures. Would definitely buy again.
