This is a GREAT shrub rose - very hardy and vigorous, never gets any disease, glowing apricot/pink blooms. The foliage is a clean dark green, with red stems on the new growth, which provides a nice, unexpected contrast.

Mine grows right next to a sidewalk in an urban setting, and it's so happy that I need to strategically prune it so the new canes stay out of peoples' way on the sidewalk!

Very vigorous in zone 4b/5a. I have it in a boulevard in the city - it is thriving and suckering well, and is in part shade to boot. I did amend my heavy clay with composted manure at the time of planting, which seemed to give it a jumpstart. I give it an organic fertilizer once a year, but no winter protection, and it's totally fine. Wonderful rose.

Oh crap, I jumped the gun and donated $24 before setting up my account - is there any way you can help w that? This is what I get for not reading all the directions, ha. I have my paypal confirmation email if that helps. Thanks!
