I grow SC in Houston area and it is in Full sun. inground, amended clay, 2x2'. Very fragrant. I fertilize w/ all purpose water soluble fertilizer when I remember, Which is not often. I tried growing one in a hanging basket and it died due to insufficient watering. Have never done well with containerized roses.

Thanks for the replies!....can you tell me if it grows in the ground in a mound shape like everyone says or does it grow somewhat upright? Do you have any pictures to share? That would be great.

I'll post a pic 2morrow

Thanks!

Here is my oldest SC, not at its best but I think is time of yr. i have trimmed it once or twice. I selected this for a heavy traffic walkway but keep it mind it is not in constant bloom so fragrance delight is sporadic

I like it so much i planted two more in same area last spring, very young still, from Angel Gardens. Was on a wait list for a yr b4 I got them. I could have rooted from my shrub but too lazy though it is easy

Oh wow that is a nice little bush. I just ordered one from Angel Gardens also. Thanks for sharing the photos.

Does Sweet Chariot loose it's leaves every winter in warmer climates?
