Hi Beth--I am thinking of purchasing this rose--how does it perform in our climate--good rebloom? Does it hold it's color in heat? Is the shrub shapely and the foliage healthy? Thanks for any info you can provide!

Hey Sally!

My plant is about 3-4yrs old, and it just this yr seems to have really taken off. It doesn't seem to have any disease. It peaks out around 3ft x 3ft, and blooms fairly well. The blooms don't last all that long tho, and eventually fade to a pale cream. But they are quite lovely.

Thanks, Beth--What do you think of Vesper?

Oh, now VESPER is a wonderful rose. It grows taller, like up to 4ft and blooms really well. The blooms last longer and don't fade as much as AMBERLIGHT's. It might get a bit of PM in the early spring, but once the weather warms up, it's quite disease resistant. I love the dusty apricot tones.
