I purchased this rose in a pot in the spring before it bloomed. I selected it as it should be the healthiest of the Bee's Paradise/Bienenweide series. I thought it would fit well into a mixed border I use to help attract pollinators to my vegetable garden. I am very happy with the low, bushy growth habit and the dark, healthy leaves. The flowers, however, are a major disappointment. The color is just a little *too* vivid, almost a bit garish. The blooms look badly beaten up and lose most of their petals after a day or two, even in good weather. The biggest disappointment is that the bees and hoverflies that swarm over my cornflowers and borage almost ignore this rose. To be honest, I do too, now. I am planing on pulling this up to throw out or give it to a neighbor in the fall. A pity as this is such a healthy, beautiful little shrub.
