I found this in a greenhouse struggling in a one gallon pot and rescued it. I planted it in the ground where it did not do well. Moved it to a pot. It did well. Planted it back in the ground. It did poorly. Back into a pot and there it stays. I've repotted it several times and it does well. I'm in northern Alabama zone 7a and the rose has been in full sun wherever I planted it. I don't spray, and I'm inconsistent about fertilizing, although my roses get a good top dressing of compost once or twice a year, and Mills Magic Rose Mix at twice a year. The rose blooms inconsistently but the blooms are gorgeous so I don't mind it's minimal display. With 30+ roses of all kinds in my yard, I have enough variety that I can handle a few roses that are poor performers.
