I bought Seaside Swirl on sale in October in a 5 gal pot. We were just coming out of one of the worst droughts ever. I have never planted a rose in October in my z6 Pennsylvania garden. But I got it in the ground, fill sun. Just picked its first blooms on 5/15/25 after 3 days of rain(4”). The bush is covered in buds that are beginning to open. Will try to take a photo once it stops raining. Very nice scent. Looks like a wild rugosa.
