This rose has some of the most incredible structured blooms, but the plant is not very vigorous in my garden. Also seems somewhat subject to canker.

Do you remember the name of the nursery so we can update our nursery list.

I've bought it in Jardiland, that it's a Garden Center, but these roses, named "English Legend", are produced by Edirose. |

I was really excited to get this little rose, but it wasn't so excited to live with me. In spite of being potted up and taken into the garage during the coldest spells, it just faded away and died during our chilly, damp Pacific Northwest winter. Perhaps if it had been planted first thing in the spring and was a little more mature it might have fared better. Really disappointing, because I love the look of it.

Lucretia, sorry to hear of your loss. I think you might have better luck letting this one Winter out of doors. It should be fairly hardy.
There is another grower in the Portland area growing it in the ground. He reports it did just fine over the Winter.

It did spend most of the winter out. We had a couple of nasty cold snaps when the temperatures suddenly dropped into single digits--it came inside for those. Weird weather--some of my supposedly hardier plants got nailed by the sudden changes in temperature (Ghislaine de Féligonde is dead to the ground, and it's supposed to be good to 5b--and it's not the only one.) Probably my worst year yet for cane dieback. So if it's hardy in Portland, it might be worth another shot.

Michael Garhart has it in Portland. He posts here. Perhaps you can ask him about it.
Last time he mentioned it he said it looked good but burned back a bit where it was touching some rocks he had placed around to protect it from being stepped upon.

Of all of Mr. Barden's roses that I've grown, this is the best all-around plant in my garden. It has a nice, compact habit, is very healthy, and a lovely addition to the gallica class.
