'James Galway' rose Reviews & Comments

From the photos, it's interesting to notice all the color variations in this rose.
This is a very vigorous and healthy plant for me. Disease-free (in zone 6b, New York) and did I mention that it's vigorous? Climbs easily to 8-10 ft, but the canes are very stiff. Sets many hips.

Good point about the color variation. I'm considering this plant and need to know if it's my computer display that's making the flower colors look like they vary from apricot-orange to lavender-pink. If I order one what will I get? Please let me know whether yours is apricot or pink or both. In other words do your plant's flower colors tend towards blue-pink or yellow-pink? Thanks, Susan

It's not your computer's fault :) This rose can really produce those two different colors. I think it depends on your climate/weather. I get mostly pink blooms, but I got some apricot blooms last year for the first time.

Thank you. Bought James Galway as own-root. Very healthy in its 2nd flush. The scent went from light in 1st-flush to STRONG in 2nd flush (as the bush matures). Blooms well in partial shade, 4 hours of morning sun. James as 2nd-year-own-root has a light carnation scent when freshly picked, then ages to a strong old-rose scent & pure heaven to sniff. I would place the quality of scent among the top 10 out of my 110+ own-root roses.
