Zone 6b Southwestern PA My first bloom from a tiny band sent from Burling Leong.-Burlington Nursery. I LOVE IT! The shape of the petals!!! This is what I was hoping for. Such a wonderful and unique shape and beautiful colors! This rose IS FRAGRANT for real. This rose performs! No disease problems really. Survived a hard winter and was so tiny for so long but now it's growing and pushing out beautiful fragrant blooms! This rose is hard to get so be patient.
Talisman gives nice flushes. It is a very well-formed rose at first but even its blown and spent bloom is very photogenic. Fragrance is still nice! Once it blows open you can't slap it around too much cause it shatters pretty easy. This rose wants to make hips.
