Thanks! I will try to post a photo later this month, when the blooms are almost 7" across. They get very small in the summer, but really show off as it gets cooler. Also, it blooms 12 months a year, with a usual flush of 200+ blooms at a time. Glorious bush!

Is this just one plant?? When I first posted a comment about this photo I assumed it was 2-3 specimens planted in a grouping - if it is just a single rose bush --WOW X 10 [as my teenager said the other day...LOL :)] One of the lovliest pics on this site in my opinion!! Please post more this coming season - I would really love to see it again!

Yes, this is one bush, and not a group planting. It is the best performer in my garden, and appears to love its location. I prune it very vigorously on Valentine's Day (down to about 3'), and by April, it is close to 7' x 7'. I have since planted two more, and will take pictures once it flushes again this spring.
Thank you for your comments!

Wonderful! Look at the illustrious parentage. This is a rose we need to get over to Europe, too.

Jedmar, you do need Belinda's Dream in Europe. It is a fabulous bloomer that really excels in hot locations. In the cool, damp spring I lose the spring flush because the blooms ball and spoil. But even with that, it produces 5 more flushes every season.
Mary, is your Belinda's Dream budded onto Fortuniana? Or is it grown on its own roots? My ownroot plants are vigorous but not as large as Mary's, finishing out at about 5.5 ft/1.67m by the end of the season. It blooms on 24 in./60cm stems, and the blooms are scented. A wonderful modern rose.
