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


Purchased from Rose Petals Roses 2016

5/30/2016- First flowers open. I forgot to smell them! but they were a nice color.

Planted band April 21, 2016 from A Reverence for Roses in Florida. Next to Souvenir Du President Lincoln. I hope I hope Barbara and Abe will have a happy marriage.

Edit 7/15/16
Picked up HUGE fragrant bloom from ground, it was pulling its young cane all the way to the soil. Saved it before the slugs got to it. 3.5 inches and looks to have over 100 true medium pink petals.
