Anyone else growing Blessed Child?

last year

I planted her as a band last fall purchased from Rogue Valley Roses (they introduced her and the only ones that carry her)

She seems like she has a good chance to be a garden star for her first season she is perfoming well.

My Blessed Child is in my garden for 4 years now, I believe. Its color, bloom form and scent are all quite variable for me, but I am very fond of this rose! It is more than 5 ft tall and a good 3 to 4 ft wide in my garden.

Thank you for the photos! I have ordered her for delivery later this fall so I'm excited to see more descriptions and thoughts about her!

@Lilyfinch z9a Murrieta Ca its funny i recall most of my roses tend to have their pink tones become more prevalent in the heat while the apricot fades Blessed Child seems to be doing the opposite. Each new flower seems to have a more intense apricot tone.

Wow! how very pretty! I like warm pink/peach colors. How is bloom longevity?

jjkOC The flowers do have pretty good longevity, i do notice as they age on my young plant the petals tend to reflex and take a more pointed shape, that could change with age.

i will have to take photos of the next flush as they age.
