I visited A Reverence for Roses today, and found this to be an absolutely charming family business. Jan and Don welcomed me, my father and our mini poodle in their gardens and greenhouses and Jan helped me choose 2 roses with her encyclopedic knowledge.. even threw in a third she had heard good feedback from other customers about for our area. Highly recommended, a great experience :)

Thank you so much for today's visit. My wife enjoyed your enthusiasm and your adorable dog and your sweet father that enjoyed smelling the roses. You made the day for us.

We have found Xander to be very disease resistant here at our Central Florida nursery.

I can't believe there are no comments yet on this fabulous rose. Vigorous, generous, black spot resistant this has been a spectacular rose in my Middle Tn garden under heavy disease pressure. In 4-5 years it has grown to be 6' tall and almost 10' wide. It takes a lot of space, but deserves every square inch of garden it takes. It has an excellent spring flush, produces flowers through the entire summer and has a strong fall flush when the summers aren't too dry. I can always count on it to have blooms that can be cut for the house. In my zone 6b-ish garden where it was between 0 and 5 degrees this winter it only had freeze damage on some of its branch tips. I don't spray, rarely water, and other than a few shovels full of horse manure twice a year (if I get around to it) don't give it any special care. This rose really deserves a wider distribution than it has!

In looking at our mother plant here in Central Florida I find that it is very clean. Having had very high rates of rain fall and high humidity for some weeks this plant appears to just shrug it off.

I agree, this is a fabulous rose, always has roses on it! Mine is equal in size to yours if not bigger. I do nothing for it, it is so massive I can't begin to get at it's base! Love it, no problem of any kind.

The only problem with this rose is that it needs a Huge space to grow. I keep cutting it back and it keeps trying to take its neighbors' space. It needs a large plot of its own.
