I'm in zone 10b and this is my first year with LEH. I've grown the rose in a large pot, which is my usual strategy when I want to see how a rose reacts to the climate. LEH has been exceptional: planted in February, flowering began in May and, even in the height of summer, continual flowering and a strong citrusy scent. One of my favourites for fragrance. It is November 25 and LEH is still covered in buds. The rose frequently had to tolerate dry soil in the height of summer. Fed twice with rotted horse manure. Very little sign of disease - a few yellowing leaves inside. Flowers maintain form for a long time on the bush and also when picked. I picked 2 flowers three days ago and they are still retaining colour and fragrance. For warm climates, this is certainly an excellent rose. Can't decide whether to plant her out in the ground or leave her in the pot, since she has reacted so well.

I have her in my 10b Pasadena garden and she is very slow growing and the only rose that gets crispy brown edges and spots on its leaves. The folks at Bellefontaine (local awesome nursery) said she didn't do well here but I bought her anyway online as a bare root. Her flowers are so lovely that I'm willing to risk it but I wish I was having the same success as you. Mine is just a baby (planted in March and it's now June) so maybe that's an issue.

This is a really nice rose! I've been growing it since 2013. In its first year it repeated several times, got serious blackspot along with most of my roses but suffered no dieback over our very harsh winter. I'm trying out spraying with copper sulfate every 7-10 days this year. So far so good...I'm very impressed by this rose's ability to stand up to heat and direct sun. It's not what I expected from a rose with cupped flowers. Many of the Austins I grow can't even take 80 degrees and full sun without shriveling up!

Where is your "very harsh winter"? That, of course, is very subjective.

I think that during that particular winter we were getting temperatures around -15 for a few weeks, which was pretty devastating in CT.

Leene: Is your Lady Emma grafted on Dr. Huey, or is it own-root? Thanks for any info.
