Diese wunderschöne, absolut unempfindliche Rose brauchte bei mir 3 Jahre, bis sie ihre volle Größe erreicht hatte, blüht überreichlich und herrlich duftend im Halbschatten mit Duft!!!!
A discreet, reliable beautyBlooms early, susceptible to rust, but shoots well again and is healthy overall, even in thankless locations. Easy-care, robust. Loosely double white blooms with a very good fragrance.Automatically translated · Show original
An enchanting roseA truly enchanting rose! In the picture she is about 1.5 years old. We bought her bare-root,
in the first year she didn't bloom at all, she probably had to concentrate on her growth. She grows in a container with us and stands in partial shade, which she tolerates very well. When she gets bigger, we'll replant her in the garden. I'd say she is vigorous. Her fragrance is intoxicating, she blooms very early, but only once a year, her flowers look very romantic. After flowering she unfortunately had some rose rust, but still a very robust and beautiful rose that I wouldn't want to be without any more.Automatically translated · Show original
Highly recommended!I bought the rose bare-root in Nov. 2024. I chose it because the location is difficult for me (right next to birch trees). I placed a planting container in the planting hole and filled it with organic black soil so that it would establish well. In the first year it did put out shoots, but did not flower. It also didn't look great otherwise and had black spot. In November I cut it back radically. But this year things look different. It is forming a beautiful bush and has lots of flowers with a striking perfume scent. No trace of black spot! A few leaves show traces of rose rust. I am very optimistic that a beautiful shrub will develop. I had already thought about transplanting it, but now no longer think that will be necessary. Perhaps it just needs a little longer to establish itself.Automatically translated · Show original
