Grows very well against a warm north facing wall for me. Very vigorous and good first flush considering it receives almost no direct sunlight!

Hello! I’d like to get one. Is it a good reblooming? Thank you

It has several flushes throughout the year and is blooming right now, so i'd say yes. Especially considering my JG managed to get some rose rust that I didnt notice and had to de-leaf entirely this summer. I'd also grow this rose as horizontally as possible to maximise flowering potential!

From the photos, it's interesting to notice all the color variations in this rose.
This is a very vigorous and healthy plant for me. Disease-free (in zone 6b, New York) and did I mention that it's vigorous? Climbs easily to 8-10 ft, but the canes are very stiff. Sets many hips.

Good point about the color variation. I'm considering this plant and need to know if it's my computer display that's making the flower colors look like they vary from apricot-orange to lavender-pink. If I order one what will I get? Please let me know whether yours is apricot or pink or both. In other words do your plant's flower colors tend towards blue-pink or yellow-pink? Thanks, Susan

It's not your computer's fault :) This rose can really produce those two different colors. I think it depends on your climate/weather. I get mostly pink blooms, but I got some apricot blooms last year for the first time.

Thank you. Bought James Galway as own-root. Very healthy in its 2nd flush. The scent went from light in 1st-flush to STRONG in 2nd flush (as the bush matures). Blooms well in partial shade, 4 hours of morning sun. James as 2nd-year-own-root has a light carnation scent when freshly picked, then ages to a strong old-rose scent & pure heaven to sniff. I would place the quality of scent among the top 10 out of my 110+ own-root roses.

Does James G. have good flowers in heat, without frying?
Thanks, Nate

I planted two on an arch in April. This was only the first year, so I can't vouch for mature shrub performance, but the heat shut them down completely. They tried to keep growing but we had a brutal summer (weeks in the high 90s) and nearly all new growth got cooked after mid-July. I'd bet this variety needs afternoon shade in warmer climates.

Does this rose take a while to get movin' and shakin'? I purchased it this Jan. from Austin Roses and it is moving very slow and the flowers are no larger than a fifty cent piece. A pretty, fragrant, fifty cent piece. I don't know if I should contact them or wait it out. Any advice would be appreciated.
