Since Rosarium Uetersen was planted bareroot one year ago, it was achieved human height and arms' span in size and is totally covered with clusters of palm-size medium-pink flowers. Very healthy, no problems, except flower clusters need support or will arch down. Heat-resistant, but needs watering. Color of flowers varies year from year - from coral-pink through deep pink to fading light pink. Shape of growth - as shade tree - to all sides; after heat wave flower clusters started to arch down, had to add support to each (green garden wire). Starts flowering in beginning of June, now is end of June - fully covered with flowers.Conditions:  z6a,Toronto, mostly sun location, poor soil (a lot of builder's debris and clay) with just 1 bag of rose soil  in  planting hole, 1/4 of recommended dose of water-soluble 20-20-20 fertilizer, no other care.

Slow to get established (2-3 years, depending on climate) but, once it does, it is often in bloom. Here in Zone 5 it took a good 3 years to really get going. The Old Rosarian is absolutely correct in stating that it grows sideways before it grows upwards. Blooms last for at least 2 weeks when left on the bush. Puts on a striking display. Some winter dieback in USDA Zone 5 (about 20-25 percent when not protected), but a quick recovery. Repeats its bloom well. The only frustrating thing is that it has very little scent. Every once in a while I can pick up a slight fragrance, but only in cooler weather. I would call it a coral-pink -- more pink than coral, but the coral undertones are there. Its color is deeper, pinker, and more vivid in cooler weather; lighter and a bit less pink in hot weather. I also agree that it is a fine, healthy rose. Quite disease resistant. I usually don't care much for unfragrant roses, but this one will stay.
