Amazing fragrance on this rose, almost Alba like. A rare variety from the True Blooms collection, but once in awhile it will show up at Home Depot. Today I saw a potted one and grabbed it. My previous plant did not make it through the consecutive heat waves of ‘22 and fried in the pot. User error really, because it probably would have done fine in the ground since Heritage is a parent. Altman Plants is now marketing it as a climber: sticking a two foot wooden pole in a three gallon pot, and upcharging $10 for said stick (= $38). Prior to this it was sold as a regular True Bloom bush rose for about $20-$26… no stick. I have not seen True Devotion offered earlier this year as bareroot bodybags at Walmart. Instead they had True: Courage, Darling, Endearment, Friendship, Gratitude, Inspiration, Perfume, & Sincerity.
All kvetching aside, I do like this rose. If nothing else, the fragrance alone is worth growing it for — it’s better than True Perfume!

Report from eastern England, the sunnier drier side..
Very impressed with 'Heritage' in its first season, it simply took off right out of the gate.. and produced tall arching growth to 5 feet or so.. continuously in bloom, delicious scent on a very healthy bush - no spray - with an angular habit.. I've had to prune it back but it's suitable for pegging..
Blooms last about 3 days in cool conditions.. maybe less in heat.. I first grew this rose in 1986 so this is a revisit ..

There seems to be two versions of Heritage in USA, the predominant one being stingy, barely double, and infested with rose mosaic virus. I very much prefer its creamy flesh toned color sport “Rose-Marie” — much more floriferous, filled with petals, drought resistant and nigh impossible to kill!

Could it be Mlle Germaine Raud, a cross between Chamois x Lamarque ?
