I picked up a Fragrant Blush plant at a lovely visit to Antique Rose Emporium nursery last August, when it impressed me by blooming so generously in the broiling Texas summer there. The fragrance is fabulous.
It was unfazed by the seventeen hour drive to Colorado, and a two week “vacation” there, followed by another eighteen hour drive to get home. I planted it in-ground here in SW Ohio where it didn’t miss a beat. After a vole attack and zone 6 winter without snow cover, it is blooming and growing.

This is my first season growing this rose in Zone 8A. The rose is doing well in the hot summer. Already got 2 flushes after got her as a 2-gallon plant from ARE. Have a strong Myrrh scent. It stays blooming for around 2 days in the heat. Still need time to observe how she is doing in the cold weather.
