Planted as a bare root in 1/2021 along with 4 other DA's (Gabriel Oak, Young Lycidas, and Roald Dahl). She has beautiful large blooms and blooms consistently for me from early May until frost. She has gotten a bit of black spot, but is next to Gabriel Oak and he gives me the most trouble with black spot. I only spray copper and horticultural oil, and basically follow Felicia Alvarez's rose care recommendations from her book, Growing Wonder (highly recommend). Her color changes for me from a bright bubblegum pink in the Spring and Summer to a peachier pink as weather cools. Great cut flower, amazing old rose scent.

She survived our Artic blast last year & a couple of hard frost this year. Houston is hot and very humid a good part of the year. This rose was not bothered at all. . Completely covered with blooms! Has been low maintenance. I will get more as soon as they are available. On a scale of 1-10 I give her a 10!

Great fragrance, check. Beauty, check. Holds it's color throughout bloom cycle, check.

This rose is worth having. Upright growth, strong disease resistance (Northern California), and tons of blooms. I am so glad I chose this variety to add to my collection.

This is her firsts year and she has produced several gorgeous and fragrant blooms. The full sun and heat of Southern California doesn't faze her.
