I bought mine last spring and it bloomed often all summer in a 2 gallon pot. Loved the form, color and fragrance. Healthy and vigorous. Got it planted in the ground just after Christmas and am looking forward to seeing what it does this year.

Wow! These blooms are perfectly formed and simply gorgeous. Mine's still small and right now the blooms weigh her down, lol. The fragrance is fantastic!
I had a bit of possible vigor problem, but she was a new transplant in a new spot in my garden, so maybe I just had the soil wrong or something. Maybe she's slow to start, but after a full season of growth, she seems to have gotten her roots down now.
I'm not in a zone that has to worry about her hardiness, but she seemed to do great in our NC heat this summer.

I have only grown this rose one season so far, but I am totally intrigued by it. The color is such a true candy pink, and the petal form so quilled and pointed--coupled with the reflex of the flower as it wanes, it makes for a fascinating display from beginning to end. This would be a great rose for an artist to paint! |

Claire, how is Curly Pink doing? Hardy? How much winter die back and how big is it? Thanks!

Greetings Artemis, Curly Pink does not get a lot of die-back. The rose was bred by the Brownells of Rhode Island, who specialized in hardy repeat bloomers. So it is definitely much hardier than your run of the mill zone 6-7 hybrid tea (even though it is technically a hybrid tea)... I do not even winter protect this rose, and it comes through with just a bit of dead wood on the upper canes. Although it is OWN ROOT, which does make a difference in hardiness, and not having to protect the bud union... (or bury it, as the case may be, in more northern climes)...
I really recommend it; Curly Pink is a unique, endearing, romantic rose, with of course, that irresistible name!
