I have two JoAn's Pink Perpeutals, one was planted last year, and one this spring. It's too soon to tell how well they will repeat. The bloom is about 3 inches wide, with a strong sweet scent similar to Damask. I wonder how large they will grow, and might have to transplant them in the future if they outgrow their space.

Thanks you Krista! It is gorgeous. The fact that it grows well here in Denver with so many petals is amazing to me. How long do the blooms last?

Any pictures of your full bushes?

The plants are just band size. The one I planted last year was chewed to the ground, but survived and produced a bloom. The bloom lasted a few days, it did not shatter quickly. However, I store bouquets in the fridge as the antiques wilt easily in June. The fragrance was wonderful, glad I added it to the garden.

Krista,

Keep this thread in mind and as things grow and you get pictures please post them here. We may add this rose next year so I would love to see how it is doing.

I'll keep your posted, I'm glad the first plant survived winter, and now with two I look forward to seeing how well they grow.
