Wh a t a beautiful rose. I dont grow this one but my friend in Florida does . She has it in a pot and it is stunning.

LOVE it for the dry heat here and for its fragrance. Seems to have a lower habit, which is nice. Might be good for a container? Fast repeat, amazing fragrance like champagne and peaches, heat doesn't seem to bother it, extremely healthy. I hope you love it as much as me!

I bought one of mine on clearance too. It had hardly any roots and had to e pruned way back. It sat there for about 6 weeks, then out in some growth and bloomed. It is in too much shade right now. It is clean, even in the shade.

2nd year from Lowes, bloomed nonstop for 6 weeks this spring but hasn't done much since then. Maybe 2 flowers all summer. Completely healthy in my humid no spray garden. We've had some rain recently and the other roses have new growth but it doesn't. I might prune it to encourage a fall flush.

Modest, is yours in a sunny position? Mine had 1 bloom for its second "flush" a couple of weeks ago and I thought it was due to shade and midges but maybe she just doesn't like our heat and humidity.

I wish my First Crush looked like yours modest goddess. My two from Palatine, have decided to become climbers!! I bought them because I wanted a nice, small tidy bush.

This is the one in the back yard against the garden shed. The roof is 8 feet tall and First Crush is nearly there.

This is the one in the front of the house against the drain pipe which is near the top of the roof. I am scared even fertilize them.

Oh wow Oldrosarian! I will prepare for that possibly for mine too! Mine are much slower than Madame Anisette and Summer Romance so far.

Mine is in full sun and has also had only 1 bloom since the first week of June. It's 3x3 ft tall, came from Lowes last year. Everything I've seen on this site indicates that Kordes on multiflora become giants so I've avoided ordering from Palatines because I don't have the room.
