I live in Florida zone 9A where the summers are very hot and the air is humid. The plant I bought was tiny (2 Quart); I planted it in a BIG pot with good soil, during a brutal heat wave, under full sun. I watered it twice a day, carefully, and was pleasantly surprised when it didn't burn to a cinder. It grew very fast and within a month started blooming, and has been blooming continuously ever since. NO blackspot/ mildew even though other roses nearby had spells of both. It is not an aggressively vigorous rose with thick canes, rather a low-lying, spreading, full bushy plant with delicate canes. Color is not as dark purple as the picture. Pretty as a picture and care free, I don't spray it anymore, just water it regularly and feed it regularly. I am very very pleased with it.

This rose is somewhat skimpy and small. Does not perform overly well.

This rose is actually burgundy as the name suggests. She puts out tons of blooms even in the first year planted. Light fragrance. The color goes great with any chartreuse foliage nearby. I have some hyssops and a white rose surrounding my grouping. The three colors together are electric!
