This rose appears to be ideally suited for our climate (Zone 9B), the only requirement is that powdery mildew be controlled. Mild days and cool nights allow the gorgeous colors to develop fully. Upright plant with blooms coming singly and in clusters. Foliage is large and attractive. Superb exhibition form but the blooms move fast. Having said that, if it is not too warm, the exhibition form will hold until judging is over. Fully opened blooms are lovely. Long lasting on the bush as well as in a vase. The plant does well on its own roots.
