A disappointment for humid heat. A very weak, sorry, BS magnet that had one poor single flower. It's not worth growing and just got shoveled. I cannot recommend this rose for anyone.

I am in Zone 9B with very low humidity. It is very vigorous here.

I have had BGF in my south Louisiana garden for three years now. Granted, it got chewed down to a nub by our puppy in its first year so it's amazing that it's still alive, but it continues to struggle two years later. It gets lots of sun where it is, but I did not feed it last year b/c it looked so sickly I was afraid it would kill it. It was planted in a well blended hole and I thought it should have plenty of readily available nutrients at least through the second year. It's not looking much better this spring - already covered in black spot - should I feed it? Anything in particular? Should I move it to a pot? I feel like it needs some help.

My friend and I have had the same experience with this rose....our's are own root and struggling after 2 years of care. I'm going to purchase a grafted rose next.

If Grimm is anything like its close relative, Aprikola, for me, it's possibly really bad cercospora or anthracnose. I gave up on Aprikola during its 2nd year for this exact reason, and never bothered with Grimm because its too close of a relation to Aprikola for comfort.

Summer Snow has been the best rose in my garden. The foliage is glossy med/lime green and pretty much disease-free (only sprayed X 2), no pests. The plant is well branched and leafed-out with 3" pure white flowers in sprays of 3-5, continuous bloom, 3' tall and 2'wide. A pretty plant--no bare knees. Not too prickly. This well behaved rose would make a nice low hedge as it really needs no shaping. I'll buy more to dot throught the rose beds as a little white to show off all the other colors. Highly recommended No-Fuss rose. Performs as well as a Knock Out!
I'm surprised that this rose is not a common, available variety.
2-6-11 This rose strikes very easily and I see no difference in growth or vigor between grafted and own-root plants. I don't spray this rose anymore...doesn't need it.

I agree. This rose is amazing. I live in the tropics, and with all the heat, humidity and rain, it just blooms and blooms! I have it in a 5-gallon pot as an own-root plant and it does amazingly well. By far the best rose in my garden in terms of bloom quantity and frequency as well as foliage health. It has some blackspot in some leaves but nothing to worry about, it's so vigorous. My other roses in pots suffer from some nutrient deficiency but not this one (neither does Rambling Rector), I guess it's not as sensitive to nutrient deficiency as other roses. Big plus!
