1st year grafted plant from J&P planted late April. Broke dormancy quickly - and seems to be a real grower. Long stems and gorgeous blooms. Doesn't have good enough form for exhibition but thus far it's a superior garden rose. Only a mild fragrance noted thus far. I do spray for disease and RW has been clean as a whistle. Another underrated Zary HT. If you're looking for a grower and a bloomer with good stem length this one fits the bill - in my garden at least.
