I planted my first bush of Grandma's Blessing in 2022 and fell in love with its beauty. Sadly it has not survived my ex 5b/ now 6a winter despite given winter protection (I give it to all my roses except Buck's and Drifts). I planted another one in 2023. It survived our mild winter of 2024 just fine. I uncovered it and all my roses in early April and gave it the fertilizer. I have noticed yesterday that, once uncovered, it began to lose it canes and has not put out leaves, while roses next to it are doing just fine. Since I uncovered my babies we had nightly frosts for a while, but nothing major, nothing below 23'. I am beginning to wonder if its zoning is correct. It looked fabulously healthy when I uncovered, gently trimmed and fertilized it. I have no idea what went wrong :(

My Mrs B.R. Cant was planted in a spacious 20 liter pot in early 2024. The potting soil was a mix of peat free compost and composted farm manure. The rose began to grow soon after due to the mild winter of 2023/2024. In April the buds appeared on rather thick shoots and by the end of that same month the first bud unfolded into a very large, very full bloom with a beautiful pink color and a quite strong fragrance. I would describe the fragrance as strong fresh Tea with citrus notes. That first flower survived a thunderstorm and temp of 28 degrees without even a scratch. Mrs B.R Cant has very large flowers for a Tea and especially her many petals make it a Sumptuous, exquisite rose. Once she's strong and has established a good root ball she'll go into the ground next fall. I'm rather impressed by this Tea
