Here in Zone 9b, this is a great rose. The flowers are beautifully formed and good size. Love the color shading. Many roses seem have better fragrance in certain temperatures, but this rose pumps out the perfume all year, pretty consistently! A rose that never fails to please in my garden. Great rose!
I love the color the form and scent of this rose. It is a relatively healthy plant as well. The only problem I have is that it needs some very good winter protection in my zone 5b winter and even then, the winter damage can be severe. I still love it and it comes back every year, it just takes awhile to get to blooming size.
my bella'roma was planted bareroot this year from Jackson & Perkins , I'm very impressed with the beautiful bloom's color , size and fragrance , they also have a long bloom life on the bush . I wish more people would include that information , that is very important to me . My plant is very healthy with a fast return this is one of my favorites . thanks kathy
My Bella'roma is healthy, and puts out a pretty good amount of new growth, and the fragrance is wonderful -- but it seems kind of stingy on number of blooms. Has this been your experience (anyone), or does yours bloom more profusely? Mine is in a pot. Is there something extra I need to do to encourage blooming when it's in a pot?
Mine is in its third season and only manages about 4 or 5 blooms during the whole season ... it's in the garden, but maybe the spot is not the right one for it. Mine is not a very healthy rosebush ...
