Just got my Edmund's catalog 2 days ago & EDI was featured on p.3. All of Edmund's roses are grafted on Dr. Huey unless the catalog's rose description specifically states they are own-root. EDI in their new catalog is on Dr. Huey & I suspect most other sources will be the same.

We got this rose in the spring & it did very well. It was grafted. It grew very nicely over the season, bloomed quite often & got very little BS (in a season where even the most disease resistant roses got BS). The colors were lovely & many visitors to our garden were drawn to it with a "WOW, what is that?"

This rose is growing in the city garden in my town (Roosevelt park in Longmont if anyone is interested...). I saw it at the end of the season and it was lovely. I don't recall it having any disease issues; will probably put one in next year, assuming the ones at Roosevelt make it through the winter (they aren't protected, so it should be good data.)

Best,

And what zone do you grow in, Dollsandroses. It is all about zone and meridian.

I have been keeping an eye on some in a public garden this year and it looks good to me, but I am waaaay out of your zone.
Best to take advice from locals.

Lainey- I'm in zone 7 in New England. I don't think it'll have a problem wintering over. We do plant the bud unions 2" underground for extra protection.

Thanks Dollsand roses. I'm interesting in hearing more about this rose next year.
