☐ POST COMMENT

HelpMeFind's future is in your hands - Please do not take this unique resource for granted.

Your support of HelpMeFind is urgently needed. HelpMeFind, like all websites, needs funding to survive. We have set a premium-membership yearly subscription amount as low as possible to make user-community funding viable.

We are grateful to the many members who have signed up so far, but the number of premium-membership members remains too small for us to sustain the current support and development level. If you value HelpMeFind and want to see it continue we need your support too.

Yearly membership is only $2.00 per month and adds a host of additional features, and numerous planned enhancements, to take full advantage of the power and convenience of HelpMeFind. Click here to start your premium membership..

We of course also welcome donations of any amount. Click here to make a donation. Donations of $24 or more receive a thank-you gift of a 1-year premium membership.

As far as we have come, we feel HelpMeFind is still in its infancy. With your support we have so much more to accomplish.

Oh yes. I believe the rose is hardy to even zone 4! Oh fragrance to boot! Wonderful Rose for its profound true old rose fragrance. Fabulous way to get a great garden up and running. This is still my first David Austin Rose. But oh, the fragrance and hardiness is exactly why I chose it out of all of the roses I worked with at a summer plant nursery job. I am so glad I made the purchase now that it has a wonderful home. Remember, use a mulch around your Roses. Green (living) mulch is what I use, such as any groundcover under six inches will do fabulous! Keeps roses very happy year round. Happy Gardening!

I LIVE IN A ZONE 3 (WINNIPEG, MANITOBA) AND THIS ROSE HAS COME THROUGH EVERY WINTER UP TO -40 SOMETIMES! I HAVE HAD IT FOR 5 YEARS NOW. I WOULD NOT BE WITHOUT IT, SHRUB HAS A GOOD FORM, FLOWERS ARE BEAUTIFUL, SCENTED AND REBLOOMS THOUGHOUT THE SUMMER RIGHT INTO LATE FALL !	REPLY

A friend has just gifted me this rose. Does anyone have any knowledge of its shade-tolerance? I'll just answer that. In the David Austin Handbook of Roses 1st Australian Edition, it stipulates the location for most of the roses as "Full sun, partial shade".	REPLY

It is relatively shade tolerant, but then needs many years to settle!	REPLY

Today, 4 years later after my last comment, I'll have to reconsider that-one: After quite a few years of struggling for life, it seems to feel well at its (re-)location and flowers... even better: it thrives! But several times, I thought/feared it wouldn't survive, for it grew smaller instead of bigger.	REPLY

I'll pruneshovel this "not fit for the Dutch climate' rose; it balls very badly and almost no roseflower opens.
It doesn't stand up to the promises made by the seller. I think this-one needs a dry sunny climate.
There are better (Austin-)roses for The Netherlands!!!
I have to admit the plant is very healthy and has no Blackspot or Mildew on the leaves! But that's the one and only positive thing I can say. (Or it would be that the flowers might have a fine fragrance, when they would be able to open)
