Annie makes good cut blooms, lasting 4 days in the vase. One cluster can perfume the entire room with its wonderful lilac and musk scent. The scent is calming like sniffing lavender essence before bedtime. Annie is my top 10 favorite scents among 150+ fragrant own root roses.
OWN-ROOT Annie L. M. survives 3 winters OUTSIDE in my zone 5a. It got eaten down to the crown by rabbits in July, so I put in a pot, and it quickly grow. As 4th-year own root it's small & compact for a pot, only 1' x 1' after winter-killed to less than 3" in May. My winter is harsh at -20 F below zero, but Annie survived outside for 3 winters in my rock-hard clay.
