I planted an own root Liv Tyler in early June of 2021 and it grew quite well. It developed one absolutely huge cane as well as others. It was very healthy and grew well. Winter protection was about 8 inches of mushroom compost plus whatever leaves blew into the rose bed after Thanksgiving. I had high hopes for 2022.

My Liv Tyler is dead as a doornail - absolutely no signs of life whatsoever. I'm in Zone 5b - our coldest temp last winter was minus 8 F. I am not sure Liv is Zone 5 hardy - sure wasn't for me.

One of the first roses to get powdery mildew in late September here Western Oregon. I need to apply fungicide. Very nice foliage and habit. Flowers are nicely colored and fragrant.

Second season for liv, in the Rocky Mountain region of Denver. She is an absolute stunner, I have no problems with heat, water, black spot, doesn't even ball in the seriously dry over 100 degree weather we get in summer. The color is the best thing, it opens peach almost beige, then the interior presents herself with the most subtle of peaches and pinks, and yellow. Really really pretty rose, and did I say it is enormous . This years first bloom is 6 1/2 in eyes across, and after a hail beating. Mine doesn't have a strong scent, and fades as it ages. Not a prolific rose, blooms all Summer three or four at a time. I do ,prune heavy. We just had a tornadic horrific hail storm that naturally pruned all the roses to sticks, after three weeks of recovery liv is the first to put out stunning blooms. Take a chance , it's meilland breeding and in my opinion the best roses.

The Liv Tyler own-root from Roses Unlimited has big woody stem, and big round leaves. It doesn't like high-nitrogen fertilizer, and the first bloom had proliferation. It smells strong floral with a touch of apricot. The color is peachy pink. The bush is VERY THORNY, hasn't poked me due to its upright growth. Very healthy and blooms lots in my wet alkaline clay.
