I grew a rose called Mothers rose years ago but it is not the same rose. Mine was more fuschia colored. I like yours very much. The color is gorgeous and healthy looking foliage.

Looks beautiful!! :)

Outrider - Your MM is incredible!!! Such a beautiful color and it's such a producer of flowers!! You did really well in getting that rose!! I've never seen it before.

That's a great lookin' rose!

i have this one and really love it! I've had it for 2 or 3 years and it has been a keeper for me - even in part shade it has done well.

Thanks all! Yes, I was just enamored with the amount of flower production and the fact that I'd never even heard a peep about her before.

Moses-I bet she would grow great for you and you'd love her. Cold hardy, tremendously healthy foliage, massive flower production and even in part sun...no fussing this one! And I agree with the mulch. I can't stand the big box store, dyed, bagged nastiness that I see so often.

dingo-sounds like in z5 you can attest to her cold hardiness then too?! How big has she gotten for you?

I really like this color

Dingo, it's good to hear that you overwintered this one since it died on me after a year or two. I remember noting the deeply saturated colors across the yard and it managed to make a statement without screaming "bright" like Vavoom or other true orange roses might. Mine stayed a modest height, but never lasted the 3 years to maturity. I'll have to try it again during one of the Heirloom sales.

Lovely pictures, Outrider!

Mine doesn't get that big here - maybe knee height? It's slow getting started this spring though - crummy cold weather we've had has not been helpful.

Beautiful rose! Thanks for posting about it as I have never heard of this rose before. Always nice to learn something new.

Anyone growing this beauty in zone9a?

I think someone is growing it in Alabama.

Gorgeous rose, is it any good as a cut flower?

I just ordered Matchless Mother (it was on sale at Heirloom). Even though there is not a lot of info on it, it seems like the little that is out there about it is positive. Thanks for sharing your photos of it!

That's great! Didn't Cori Ann grow this one?

I just bought one from Heirloom as well. I have not received it yet.

I don’t recall Cori Ann growing this one, but I did not read every one of her posts.

I could be mis-remembering. I just always recall this name because of its unusual name.
