*** Growing near Houston, TX: sub tropical zone 9a. Mild winters, hot, extremely humid summers that last half the year. ***
Rose Petals Nursery November 2016
3/15/18- Planted in the garden today. Chunky little bush about 1.5 x 1.5. Charming flowers.
12/4/2018- Not much growth yet, still settling in. Winter flowers are cherry, and were so red looking that I had to dig out my rose map to make sure it was actually Five Yuan- or, at least, what I received as Five Yuan.
4/23/2019- I'm still not seeing any color gradient with this rose, so I don't know if I have a different china or not.
1/14/2024- Has stayed smaller than most of my other china roses. 2h x 3w. Survived two seperate freezes to 15 degrees without much dieback.
