Healthy, constantly putting out huge, stunning blooms, tolerant of heat and (ahem) intermittent watering...what's not to love about this rose? It's one of my favorites.

How big does this rose bush get? Does it throw out long canes, or stay compact?

Mine hasn't thrown out any long canes. It has stayed a very tidy 3x3ft shrub.

No long canes on my bush either. It seems to like being a small, compact bushy rose.

'Royal Kate' has some dieback in my zone 4 garden but has come through several winters for me. She has a nice strawberry and raspberry fragrance with large blooms on long, straight stems.

Sidonie has fantastic winter survival in my zone 4 garden, needing no pruning this spring, and is covered in buds! Last year it had good repeat throughout the summer and fall even though it was a first year plant. It is sprawling wider than it is tall but is maintaining a tidy shape without throwing random long canes. The bloom form is adorable and the fragrance is exceptional. This is one of my favorite cold zone roses.

That's awesome :) I don't know why Sidonie isn't more popular, she's just adorable.

I honestly don't know. It is a rose that remains small, but whoever discovers it hardly separates from it.

Exceptionally hardy in my zone 4 garden, required no pruning in spring and is the first rose to bloom.
