Grew this rose in Zone 9b, Jacksonville, FL for 3 seasons. Removed from the garden in the 4th for non-performance. This rose (despite much pampering) never bloomed or grew out of it's band (small rooting pot). I knew it was a gamble to grow a Gallica rose in such a mild climate and the gamble didn't pay off. I love, love, love this rose but unfortunately it doesn't love my garden.
My CdM is blooming and looks stunning! I planted it in early June of 2012, close to house on south side next to Mme. Hardy. I bought it from Springvale Nursery
