I'm giving an update on this rose on today (1-28-25). I still have this rose in a large pot and it is doing well. it blooms occasionally and the bloom really is unique. It tends to curl back in on itself before falling apart. I am predicting the cupped look of this rose as well as its color to be more vibrant in the cooler seasons. Still very good disease resistance and nice vigor.

I ordered Sea Anemone from Kate's Roses last fall. After planting it in a pot and giving it a fair amount of water and the odd organic fertilizer, it gave me the most beautiful little bloom. As far as Japanese/Chinese varieties go, this plant has been quite disease resistant from both blackspot and powdery mildew. It takes full sun and does not seem to mind the heat.
