I bought this rose last year, JP shipped the rose to me in May in the North Austin area. It flowered the same year. The color is more like orange than red. The smell is very powerful, like smelling a fake rose scent. Then this spring, all the new leaves came out in a burgundy color, the whole plant have a beautify color on the leaves which is very interesting. So far very resistance to black spots of all the roses in my garden. I highly recommend this rose, it is pretty and smell very nice.

I only shop this company for the roses I send my Mother every year for her birthday and Mother's Day, She loves them and they bloom quickly and beautifully every year!
