Awarded The Biltmore Best Hybrid Tea, Most Fragrant & Most Outstanding Rose Awards for 2018 - Biltmore Estate is about an hour west of our property. I found 1 of these at a local nursery, end of season 50% off sale 11/29/2020 - It is an own-root plant from Star Roses in a 3 gallon pot. Big beautiful own-root plant. It was almost 3 feet tall from the soil line & the leaves were still very clean, even being under high pressure in a nursery environment since the beginning of April 2020. Slightly spreading habit, we'll see when it has been in the ground a few seasons.
I hope it's heat tolerant! Supposed to get very tall.
4/23/18- Planted today next to poseiden. 4/30/2022- Plant does in fact get tall, but has not grown bushy so far at all. I love the blooms. 2/20/2024- Pruned today down from 9 feet tall. This rose is absurd. lol. There's no branching at all- it grows straight up.
