Instead of compact, perhaps the description should be “sub-compact” :-)

Kordes Rosen gives this rose 3 stars for hardiness. My guess, based on that and the fact that it is being grown in the warmer zones would be no colder than zone 6b. Would anyone here know better? It is a lovely rose, with good colors.

That’s an interesting way to rate hardiness. I suppose the USDA ratings we’ve used forever are too confusing. 3 stars out of how many?

I guess you could compare to other Kordes 3 star roses and find one that you also know the zone for.

It was three stars out of five. I am supposing 5 stars means the hardiest. I could not find an explanation for the hardiness ratings on the (translated) website. Most of Europe is warmer than much of North America, so what Kordes considers hardy might not be so for us.

Oh wow, a rose marketed for its flavour! I've never seen that before.

Thank you, very interesting! My first thought with roses specifically marketed as being edible is that they wouldn't want to be reliant on toxic sprays to remain healthy, but when I look up the file here of 'Renee van Wegburg' I see that it is healthy and can be grown organically, so they have obviously factored that concern in.

I guess how gimmicky it all is might rely on how true the taste claims are. It suggests to me the description of some wines - I can rarely taste all those subtle taste descriptions.

This rose is impossibly bright and vibrant. Blooms in clusters of rich neon orange in a velvet texture. They don't fade much but do turn more neon red with age before fading at the late end of the bloom. They grow fast and well but will need blackspot protection if you live n a humid place or have odd springs that quickly switch between warm and cool. Flowers are up to 3.5 inches across usually in lovely clusters. A good spring pruning greatly boosts this plants vigor. Potted in Zone 7a and doing well going on 5 years. I spent years looking for one and my first bush was pitiful. Years later I found a seller and bought 5. I love this plant and hope it keeps in collection for generations to come. This rose is stunning and would make a nice hybridizer to get some good oranges.

If you like it you shoudl check out Salita, which may be related to it. Same eye-bleed red-orange coloration, but bigger, fatter blooms.

Good Morning
I have an 8ft Salita. Thats a great recommendation, I Absolutely love it. My particular one is a little less neon vibrant at the Brillant but you are correct they are fatter. I have a big collection of orange roses I plan on adding my pics and 2cents on here. Something about that color is just spectacular on a rose for me.
