Lovely non lemon scented mauve flower.....but pretty awful plant. The nursery lady even commented that I was brave to take the plant given the cultivar's "issues", primarily constant blackspot.

-edit- starts off a much darker mauve colour before fading to the mauve/lavender that is shown in a lot of pictures

Sets seed easily, seed is often very large, may be an indicator of difficult to germinate

My first Moon Shadow succumbed to a spring freeze two years ago, but had made it through some fairly cold temps before that. My new plant is own-root, so we'll see if that helps. I'm in a zone that's probably between 6-7, though we're officially a 7 due to warming temps over the last 20+ years.

The plant was tall and a great bloomer.and I'd think a great addition to any garden.

My Moon shadow has bloomed continuously and profusely in its second year in my garden. It is six feet tall and needs to be cut back. It may be the Bloom Booster fertilizer I am using or the coffee grounds and banana peels I work into the soil around the roots. When I originally planted it I worked in a bag of peat/humus into our sandy soil. It also gets the leftover coffee from the pot each morning (maybe the caffeine helps!) This is one gorgeous, fragrant, vigorous rose--even in our Florida climate!

In Yonder Garden 'Moon Shadow' puts on a great show every year. The graft is planted at least 2 inches underground in this zone 5 garden in the historic Hudson Valley of central New York State. Temperatures regularly drop to 15 below zero. We stop pruning or even disbudding by mid August and dont prune or fertilize again untill May. This rose usually has to be pruned back to eight inches or so every spring, then its fertilized with a granular fertilizer and then every two weeks with a water soluble one.
