Hardy, healthy, and beautiful. Excellent scent too. As a cut flower/form I'll give it a "good+" to "excellent" .

Huge purple/mauve/reddish blooms on long stems born one at a time. Excellent cut flower. Fragrance (fruity-sweet-old rose) is second to none and I have 40 something extremely fragrant varieties. Best of all it loves even zone 8 Texas heat and is one of the only flowers here that blooms in 105 degree temps. Very little black spot and no other disease problems. I highly recommend!

I agree! This is so far my very favorite rose---the blooms are absolutely gorgeous! The color just stands out and the fragrance is wonderful!! I live in the middle of Kansas, and it thrives in the sun, and even in our stiff, clay soil. Mine only tends to blackspot after all others have had theirs, and then not very much. I debated for a long time before I purchased this one from Edmonds, and I will never regret it!!!
