What she lacks in disease resistance (zone7a) she makes up in growth. Bought 2019 and since then she has grown tenfold making her a massive, quick growing statement in the garden. Keep an eye out for mildew and fungus if you are in a hot and humid climate. Either way, I think she has been worth the fuss.

only had it for one growing season. it is definitely following the first year it sleeps, ….. I gues I will see if it creeps next year
Brandon Garner (verified owner) –
it bloomed this spring and wound up being a solid pink color, with no variegation to it at all.
Linda Carolan –
This is a precious collector rose, one of the most beautiful of the striped roses.

Mine started to “revert” last year (may be Brandon Garner’s issue?). I will watch it this year and hope that it hasn’t ALL reverted. Will prune out reversion. I do love it, though!
Henry –
I have had this rose for 10 years and it does get big. Mine has never reverted completely however it will always have a few canes with all solid purple- or magenta-colored blooms. Makes for kind of a fun springtime surprise. I have been meaning to try and root one of the solid purple canes because they tend be to be larger and more fragrant than the variegated or striped blooms.
