Then, finally in late October

Nice bloom!

Ooooh!!!! I'm so excited to be getting that rose this spring. Yours looks gorgeous!!! Tell me about the fragrance please and anything else you want to share about this rose!! Lovely, lovely!!

Thank you Jim and Carol. Carol - Buxom Beauty seems to be a healthy rose, mine had several flushes and in the cooler weather the blooms are huge. The fragrance can be intoxicating. It is a good rose to bring in, because it lasts good indoors. The bush doesn't get very big the first year, mine didn't anyway. Overall I think it is a good rose.

Nice blooms.
Nice of you to post your photos, in time of "famine".
I hope more members post photos and comments on how they performed.

The ads are so annoying though........ :>(

Beautiful! I finally broke down and ordered a grafted one from Palatine. It arrived a week or two ago. I have an own root one I got (probably) from Heirloom several yrs ago, and it's done absolutely nothing! I keep hoping it will grow, but it doesn't. So now I got a new one that should do something this time! If it looks that beautiful I'll be very happy!!

Thanks Beth - I got mine from Palatine too. Hope you have good luck with yours.

I just ordered a second one from Palatine!!! This is a beautiful rose. It grows 8 feet high in my garden. I will prune it down more this coming year. Your pictures are lovely! lesley

Thank you Lesley - I had no idea Buxom Beauty could get that tall. Mine bloomed good this year, but it never got very big at all and it is in a bed where some of the other roses are very vigorous. Maybe it will take off next year.
