Planted in Fall 2020 this rose came through the winter fine and has put on a lot of height. 3 well formed blossoms are holding up well in a vase.

Toughest rose I've seen and lovely blooms!

This is one of a very selected group of roses that can tolerate, not only heat and humidity of the tropics, but the salty ocean breeze. I took a chance and I now have gorgeous very, large long-stemmed, very fragrant roses a block away from the beach.

I ordered this for a friend in memory of her daughter who passed away—I heard it bloomed and was beautiful. She really appreciated being able to look out her window and have this beautiful reminder of her daughter.

This year I ordered three own-root hybrid teas from Heirloom -- two old favorites and one Kordes: "Mister Lincoln," "Tropicana" and "Sunny Sky." I followed their planting instructions to the letter, and now all three are thriving and blooming. In fact, the bushes have tripled in size in a relatively short amount of time -- despite punishingly hot and windy days here in Central Texas (zone 8). Thank you, Heirloom Roses!
