8th-year OWN ROOT The Squire is compact & upright bush. NO weak necks, can take high heat at 100 F and blooms last one week in the vase. Scent is best with alkaline tap water, but gone with acidic rain. Bush size is 1.5' x 1.5' in my zone 5a. Very winter-hardy and drought-tolerant. It requires the least water among my 34 Austin varieties.

My own-root The Squire can take high heat at 100 F, blooms last 1 week in the vase, and the scent is spicy good at alkaline pH. The Squire is even more compact than the Dark Lady at 1.5' x 1.5 as 8th-year own root. Normal color is much darker red, my pic is lighter red due to liming. The Squire prefers alkaline tap water and booms more than The Dark lady in hot & dry.
