*** Growing near Houston, TX: sub tropical zone 9a. Mild winters, hot, extremely humid summers that last half the year. ***


Purchased from The Antique Rose Emporium Nov 2015

4/2016- small but blooms are wonderful. No balling so far

3/2018- love this rose! Pretty foliage and nice, large blooms. Taller than wide so far, 6h x 2.5w.
3/30/2019- 7h x 4.5 wide. Not bushy yet
3/21/2021- My giant plant has taken a very large hit from Winter this year. Extreme die-back like I've never seen- I've basically had to cut out half the plant.
1/14/2024- Hit again by another arctic blast last winter and very nearly died. Recovered a little, but I fear for it. Size now is 4h x 2w.
