I planted Tess in 2022. It did not do well, barely survived the winter here in 5b and hardly had any growth this year. It is in the part shade. It gave me a flower or 2 in June. Nothing to die for, but I took it as a sign she is OK. But it is totally lagging behind all my other roses. I am wondering if I should to replant it to give it more sun or say goodbye. If anyone has a tip for me on what Tess needs I would appreciate it.

The diameter is at least 4 inches since it is the diameter of the flower on the potted plant I just bought. DA's website states "large flowers" which are 3.5 to 5 inches. I think the description is slightly off.

The diameter of 3.25" was from the patent application. We increased it to 4" now

I would not describe the fragrance as strong or as old rose. It smells nothing like damasks or Portland roses. Something about it almost reminds me of crayons honestly and of medium strength.
The plant does get black spot but seems vigorous.
