I'm giving my Heaven on Earth to my mother -- she'll like the beautiful flowers of changing flower color and the very quick rebloom of the shrub. I hope she won't mind the floppy stems. It drove me nuts -- you had to either provide support for each flowering stem, or crawl around on the ground to see them. Too bad -- if it weren't for the wayward growth, it would be a first rate rose.

In the first year the rose does droop with the weight of the blooms, but by the second it sends out tall canes with no droop. Give it some time to mature and you will not be disappointed. I love this rose. It does not blow quickly for me on the bush but does not last long in the vase.

My bush is also first year and in the spring the blooms nodded somewhat, but this fall the stems are quite strong and the blooms are gorgeous. They smell wonderful and are actually bigger than my Abraham Darby. This is a rose that I always want to have in my garden.

All this info is great. I love the look of this bloom and have been wondering which rose might do well in a container that sits on my deck above eye level. If Heaven on Earth does have errant behavior, if it flops over a bit, it sounds perfect for this particular need of mine. Does anyone know how it does in a container...what it's like as a cut flower?

I'm not sure how this one would do in a pot, but it is the most beautiful rose in my garden at the moment. ( I have 90 roses, so that is saying something). The Easter Freeze killed it back nearly to the ground, but it has rebounded with a vengenance. It is probably 4.5 ft high completely covered in blooms. It is awesome. I completely recommend this rose.

My Heaven on Earth blooms are slow to repeat, almost always droop downward, and blow quickly when exposed to rain or hot weather. On the plus side, the rose does produce a nice delicate scent. Perhaps I will have better luck moving it to an area with fewer hours of direct sun.
