This rose puts on a great spring flush, but it is easily the most disease prone rose in my garden. I wouldn't recommend this rose simply because of that. If there is blackspot in amongst my roses, it's going to be on this rose.

I had four that I dug up because of their great tendancy to become diseased. I was also disappointed in it lack of bloom after the first flush and did not really see a big improvement over the old blaze.

This is the first rose I ever grew . In the hard red clay of Staten Island zone 6b it grows well with no problems and is in continuous bloom with no blackspot , no mildew . It climbs well and will cover a backard eyesore in little time. I have grown it as a rank beginner with no fertilizer, no winter cover , awful pruning and admittedly bad watering habits (lawn sprinkler every other evening) . It has no scent that I can detect . The flower is a blazing red, a "flat color" with little variation/interest . I have recommended it to people who say they "have no luck with roses " but really wish to grow them -- later they call me to say how happy they are. Sorry it is not the same under your conditions . I know location /rootstock etc can vary the outcome so much . Diana

This photograph is not of "Honor." The flower form and habit is all wrong.

I have what I think is a chihuly rose. The bud is pointed, and yellow and orange in color. The rose is bright yellow when it blooms and then turns orange and end up with pink and white. Could some one confirm for me this is a chihuly rose or if not could you tell what the name of this rose is. The bush I have is a cutting of my uncle's bush and he does not know the name. Thanks Deleana |

I don't think anyone could confirm without a photo. It could also be Playboy, as the two look similar. Playboy fades out like you describe. Playboy has fewer petals than Chihuly.

Is it too soon to know about disease resistance in this rose? I live in humid coastal NC.

It's growing in my garden as we speak. No blackspot as yet (my fungal disease of choice) but it's been sprayed since it started to leaf out.
