6/20/2017- Just sat in its gallon container for a while, but now it's exploding with growth. Going to have to plant it soon.
5/2018- Planted in front garden near camellia.
4/27/2020- This has been a great rose for me. It has grown large and bushy and is a great bloomer. Very vigorous.
4/2/2021- Like most of my China roses, this plant had no trouble at all during Winter storm Uri. Temps down to 14/15, no snow cover, though this one is planted against the house.
4/30/2022- Size is about 6x6 after pruning.
1/14/2024- Another freeze to 15 degrees in 2022, but still had no trouble. This is a great rose!
