I live in the PNW and received my plant as a gift. It was purchased directly from PW. I have moles and gophers so I potted my plant. It had a mildew when it arrived. I was unable to get advice when I contacted PW (not my usual experience with PW). I aggressively pruned the mildewed portions as it grew and eventually got healthy growth. It took about 3+weeks for healthy growth. The flowers are small and a beautiful apricot color with a faint sweet smell. No real flavor, as is true with most roses. They get full sun and seem to love it. This is my first attempt at growing roses and I’m not pleasantly surprised at how easy it is. Excited to see how it does over the winter. I wish I could attach a picture of the blooms they are stunning little beauties! Oh, I also got the Peared rose at the same time, that baby is about 3’x2’ with lots of beautiful soft pink flowers just like the picture.

The plant may be deadheaded if desired, but this is not required for continuous bloom.

I picked this beauty up in a local garden center this year because my daughter had wanted one ever since she saw the advertisement in the Burpee catalog. It's a lovely shrub, lots of healthy new growth and a ton of flowers! This thing just keeps on blooming! Each stage of the flower is lovely from bud to full bloom. On my plant the colors definitely lean a bit more yellow than apricot, but it is planted in dappled shade so maybe that makes a difference. Also I don't find the petals sweet, to me they taste like spinach. But I'll throw them in salads to brighten it up, I suppose!
