Currently in stock at Lowe's (Oregon). Usually wouldn't say that, but I have never seen it sold in person before.

I grew Promise at 6,000 ft. It is very heat and cold tolerant. Because our climate is so dry, I had very little trouble with black spot. Loved the dinner plate size blooms. The color of foliage and bloom are spectacular. I would love to replace this rose, I was afraid to move a 25 year old plant.

I think half of the pictures are Tournament of Roses due to their other identical name.

Ridiculously tender, in 6a with protection it is still an annual. And it blackspots first of them all, but the color of pink is so clear and so pure it can be worth it!..................
Update, 5/12: Menard's store here in Columbus has not only THIS one, but Heirloom, Paradise, Sutter's Gold, Mojave, Arizona, Bon-Bon, Oregold, America, Love, Apollo, Gypsy...............some weird and blessed access to budwood from the mid-century and they are all blooming and yep, they are TRUE.................and yes, I bought a PROMISE..............before it blooms it looks exactly like Royal Highness, gorgeous leaves.................I will simply spray it every 12 hours.............
Always feels good to find a "friend in need"................

And, in the warmer, inland valleys around Los Angeles, the blooms can nearly approach dinner plate size. Pretty awful plant, but stunning flowers.
