I would like to revisit this review in the next season. I am gardening in a humid environment in zone 7b and I think that this rose had a little black spot for us. The blooms are beautiful in spite of the black spot. To see the habit and blooms: https://youtu.be/qnaGKTMhsOw

Everyone needs at least one of these! It is such a chameleon of colors, very vigorous and does extremely well in heat and sun! It almost always is in bloom for me!

Second season in ground, and the two years have been pretty rough. She’s given a few beautiful and moderately fragrant blooms, though the deer are fond of her (bad placement perchance?) so not as many as there could have been. Hopefully she’ll continue to improve in the coming seasons. I was super happy to find her as own root so any growth will come back true. Zone 5b/6a hot and humid, poorly watered to be fair to her.

Not very blackspot resistant, but the beautiful colors in this rose make up for it. I live in Western North Carolina next to the woods.. Only the toughest roses survive!

Such a gorgeous rose with an amazing scent. So complex and gorgeous—I love it! Ca zone 9b

I am in Connecticut, zone 6b/7a. I planted this rose in Spring 2022 and it has done very well in my garden. It has bloomed very well and the blooms are breathtaking!

I love this rose. In zone 10b it is healthy and gives gorgeous blooms! This rose loves sunshine and grows pretty quickly.

Gorgeous rose of many different faces! No issue with powdery mildew (we don’t have black spot issues where I live). Been a little bit slow to establish but was starting to pick up at the end of season year 2

I can’t get over the coloration of the blooms! They’re a big beautiful shape, too!

This is one of my favorite colored roses in the garden. Such a unique combination of colors, like a stunning sunset.

I bought this rose to commerate the birth of my granddaughter who was born 5 months premature in October 2019. Like my granddaughter, this beautiful rose had a rough start but I never gave up on either of them. My granddaughter is 4 years old now. This beautiful rose will not disappoint. It has the most amazing colors, like a Autumn sunset, with yellow, pink, apricot colors. It is now May 2024 and Fun in the Sun is covered with beautiful roses! Beautiful just like my little granddaughter!

Gorgeous color, healthy, vigorous, quick to repeat bloom. I planted three in a triangle fairly close together, to look like one large shrub. This was its second season, the first flush I counted 152 large fat buds that did not disappoint! They are planted south facing, plenty of sun, drip irrigation. We are zone 5b south central Nebraska. I grow many roses and Fun in the Sun is a clear favorite. It’s mid October and still flowering.

Zone 5a, central Wisconsin on sandy soil. This rose has done nothing but impress me, and if I had more space, I’d grow a hadge of it.

Showstopping warm pastels, incredible labyrinthine arrangement of petals. Zone 6a, recently 5b mid hudson valley NY. These photos, though lovely, don’t do it justice AT ALL. The first two blooms were so beautiful I bought another one in a beauty induced stupor. The plants themselves are slow growing for me. Several leaves showed yellowing now and then and some blackspot. Not terrible. Very small plants out of the shipping box, even compared to others from High Country, but eager to bloom. Leaves remain small. She may not be the healthiest or the most vigorous, but she seems eager to bloom and show off. If a painter painted these large, many petaled, subtle multi colored roses accurately, the viewer may not believe it was real. If you’re into soft warm pastels, very full blooms, you may not be able to resist. Rose addiction is real. Hopefully vigor and health improve. Maybe a more regular fertilizing regimen on my end will make a difference.

I just received this rose (plus 2 others) in Zone 6b and am very impressed with how they all arrived to me. Thoughtfully packaged, sturdy, thick stems, healthy beautiful GREEN foliage, and very nicely rooted with roots that went throughout the pot so that you know this is an established plant, and not just some quickly stuck tiny plug with the plug wrap still on it and no real roots like one of the fancy high-dollar rose companies (which I won’t mention) ships out. lol This is my first purchase from HCR and I am thrilled to have found a rose company that actually ships out such nice product for a good price! I’ve been burned and very disappointed with roses from another well-known rose company that charges much higher prices and shipped out the most pathetic tiny plugs with black defoliated skinny stems which they claim are 18 months old, but which are clearly not, and which promptly croaked and then they fought me on their infamous guarantee blaming me for the dead roses. I own a flower farm and nursery and can already tell these robust plants from HCR are of good quality, far better than any other roses I’ve ordered. Can’t wait to see them bloom and to purchase more roses!

I had Fun in the Sun in my wishlist for a while before ordering and I’m so glad I got this one in the garden. The blooms are huge and packed with petals. I love the very faint hint of lilac in the centers in cooler weather, it really sets off the warm apricot hues. It took a bit to start blooming, but once it got going it was magnificent.

Fun in the Sun is such a lovely rose! Very high petal count with slightly cupped blooms. The scent is faint but the colors are light and romantic. Here is a clip of my first large flower; it was almost too heavy for the little baby plant!
