4/1/2015- obviously still a small plant in a three gallon container. Bloomed a bit in January, again in March, and setting buds again now.
8/5/2016- My plant did great this spring, but it's dying now! My plant is in a very large pot in a location that gets afternoon shade, near several other roses who are doing wonderfully. The only thing I can think of that might be doing it in is the fact that we've had a very dry summer. I'm really upset over it, hopefully it can pull through.
8/24/2016- Not a speck of green cane left. I think I can call it, officially expired. Sad.
