Joan Fontaine has grown to 5F high x 3F wide, at 3 years old. It produces beautiful blooms in distinct flushes. It’s not a rose that puts out a bloom here and there. Mine has either no blooms at all, or is loaded with buds and blooms. No powdery mildew, which is pretty much the only disease any of my roses get in this dry climate. Joan Fontaine has been a healthy plant with creamy, petal packed blooms. The blooms look very much like a David Austin, but makes a much longer lasting cut flower than most DA’s that I’ve grown. No weak necks here!
