Savoy Hotel, a STAR after enduring its first winter including two straight weeks near -25. Greened up immediately and generously when temps allowed. Lost all canes above mulch line, as expected, but perfect below. Pruned up nicely and already has many small rose buds 5/23 (it has been a wretchedly cold spring). Bonus: maybe some of the Japanese beetles died?!
Savoy Hotel is a gorgeous, healthy winner. Fastest-establishing HT for me and floriferous. Braved 4 straight weeks of near biblical rain, bearing perfect flowers in first year, with only one of 6 plants developing black spot. Beautiful, deep blue-green, robust foliage. From Palatine in Canada, bare root.
