*** Growing near Houston, TX: sub tropical zone 9a. Mild winters, hot, extremely humid summers that last half the year. ***
Purchased from Rose Petals Nursery Feb 2014. Tiny band plant.
3/24/2014 - Planted in new garden.
7/2014- This is a very vigorous rose. My plant is already four feet tall, no blackspot, blooms frequently.
10/2015- Wants to be TALL, (7ft right now). Drought tolerant. Makes a lot of orange hips.
4/2016- Cut this one back quite a bit, because it was so taaallll and skinny.
5/2/2017- Tall and skinny no matter how much pruning it gets.
4/30/ 2022- I guess this plant is technically pretty boring because I never take pictures of it, but it gives me no problems and doesn't take up too much space, so I'll never get rid of it.
5/9/2023- winter killed
============
4/2016- I've raised several OP seedlings from Cole's Settlement because I can't resist those giant orange hips!
