11/5/2016- Well, I never got around to planting this one, so it's still in a pot. It has rooted into the ground though, so it's got quite a bit of top growth. I do NOT know how I'm going to get it out to plant...
4/2018- planted today
6/7/2019- Very eager bloomer. 2 x 2
12/5/2020- dogs dug it out. potted for now.
4.19/2021- Replanted near Mary Washington

This is another outstanding rose! It is now over five feet tall, blooms many times throughout the season and is incredible to see and smell.

The second of the 'late'roses I am ordering from David Austin--I missed the shipping window with this order and will have to get them without the guarantee, but things suddenly brightened up for us and my hubby said, "Why don't you order yourself 2 more Austin roses?" How can I resist that?! We fell in love with the two we received earlier this year, and I'm not too worried, as we just had our last frost date on the 15th. These will be 2 of the most coddled roses ever.
