A beautiful red red rose with a light fruity scent, cold-hardy, heat-tolerant, and disease-resistant. It blooms heavily in the spring, and then repeats up to frost. I have 7 of them in my garden on their own roots, and for me in zone 7a they all have a habit of putting up big, vigorous breaks that are beautiful with big husky foliage and voracious thorns; however, left to their own accord they will grow 6 feet or more and terminate with only 1 little bloom way up on top. What I do when I see these is cut them back by half. They then branch out with sideshoots and more flowers.

The flowers are gorgeous though. Worth it all the way.

I got this rose from another company, but want others to know it is stunning. and truly disease resistant (a primary criteria for me with any rose). Its blooms are exactly as pictured, utterly captivating, and hold their shape well on strong stems for a long time on the bush. I didn't pick my because it was such a young plant, so can't say how it stands up once cut. I let mine sit for over 6 weeks in too much rain and it started to get mildewed. I was heartsick. But as soon as I got it in the ground, no disease whatever! Gorgeous, healthy leaves! I can't wait for the plant to get big and have lots to cut for bouquets. Not a lot of fragrance, but who cares. I have other roses with strong fragrance!

This was my driest time planting and I chose this rose. I wanted a perfect red and this is exactly the ONE
Less than two months later first bloomed opened and five more are about to open
It’s just gorgeous! Just ordered two more roses!

Arrived with leaves trimmed but in very healthy condition. Growing steadily and blossomed after one months. Like the stunning color. Aphids do not like them.
