How big does it get? I know that sometimes the description isn't accurate for So Cal and this one doesn't have any width info listed. I've got two on order but no clear idea how big it's going to get (oops). Those flowers though! I just had to have it :)

I planted this rose (bare root) in Jan. And to no fault of its own, it got off the a really rocky start. First off I didn't remove the 3 To many canes on it that I should have. Then two days after I planted it, it actually froze in AZ for the next week. Then it got raided by rabbits...(poor rose) Anyway about a month later it started to TRY to recover, but the growth looked thin and spindely. Kinda like it got sprayed with weed killer. So I decided to cut off the 3 canes I should've when I planted it. Within a couple weeks the new growth started to look better so I added some fertilizer and I gotta say this rose is a fighter.. However its still Really small and the blooms are perfect Mini's..that are surprisingly fragrant. I'm hoping if it survives the summer it will be more true to form next season. If not, I got a mini marco

Did it ever get bigger? I've had mine a month or so, and so far the first 2 blooms are tiny! Fragrance is delicious though, sweet and peppery at the same time

Thank you anonymous for ur response. I'm going to try Gina next planting season. I'm well aware of what the Phx. heat will do to my roses... (been here 30 years). If the 1st year plants survive the summer they will all recover in late September. Untill the summer hits again. Our growing season is backwards.. just gotta lay off the fertilizer and water like crazy till it cools off..

I grow roses in triple digit temps during the summer and have found that if I plant the rose with a large root mass in the fall, they seem to manage the summer heat the next season much better than if I plant them in the spring.
Just a thought.

Yup.... I get the roses in spring and grow them up in containers to get the larger root mass by the end of the season. I know, container gardening in triple digit temps isn't all that easy, but I do find that I have more success with the roses when I work it this way.
Smiles,
Lyn
