The colors of this rose are simply breathtaking! The blooms are very large and the colors so clear. The bush itself is not very large and a bit spindly, but the colors are well worth that factor.
Roses usually need something more dense than leaves, such as compost or even just soil. It should be mounded up to about 12 inches. However if the winter wasn't very severe, the rose could come back with just a covering of leaves.
