I live in Olympia Washington and bought this rose bush in early March from a garden center. It has had problems with blackspot, but that is common in this area. It has produced four flowers so far and they have varied from orange turning red at the edges with age, to orange with a creamy center. Very pretty!

Imagine my surprise to find someone else from Olympia on this site, looking at this rose! What are the odds... I absolutely love the color of this rose, but have had to buy a new bush for 4 years in a row now due to cold damage! You seem to be having better luck, what's your secret? Since you're also a local rose grower, may I ask what you think are the best reds and yellows to grow? Even my 2 year-old Ingrid Bergman & Mr. Lincoln died! I live out on what they call Chambers Prairie by the East Oly Post Office. I know we get a tad colder than most of Olympia, but can't believe I'm going to always have this problem after each winter! I look forward to your reply. Thanks!

I have this rose and it is from 4 - 6 ft in height. Is it mismarked?

No, she is not mismarked. My Aquarius is tall as well, and very well mannered.

I have known this rose in the house I grew up in. Yes, it is quite tall! Easily 5 feet or more. I am trying to find this old rose to buy for my own house in Olympia, WA. Do you know of anyone selling this rose?

I don't know of a supplier. Check the 'Available' tab on the rose's page.
If you can't find it, I could send you a cutting of mine.
