The bush can be grown as a large shrub, 6 feet by 5 feet, or trained to grow as a climber on an archway. Recurrent bloom from spring through fall.

Fantastic rose! Planted late last year and this spring has already growing into a magnificent plant! Multitude of blooms, heavenly scent!

Wafting scent – strongest fragrance of all my roses; got one from High Country in spring 2020 and three more in fall 2021

Fabulous rose! I planted it in 2013 and it blooms faithfully every spring while becoming larger and larger. Repeat bloom is very strong. The flowers are lovely and distinctive. A very easy care rose. I have ordered another.

First time rose grower – I had heard such good things about High Country Roses and I’m so pleased to say I agree! Lovely people that are happy to answer your questions (no matter how silly!) and lovely healthy plants too. I received my Victorian Memory in June of this year and it was such a small little thing, but I could see it had strong roots and it has absolutely exploded with growth in the few months I’ve had it – even though it was kept in a pot and hardly checked on! Very excited to see how it does this Spring now that it’s in the ground, but so far it has exceeded my expectations with long, easy to bend canes, lovely foliage, and essentially no thorns. Perfect for a beginner and in my opinion idiot-proof!

By the end of it’s second summer this rose is 4’+ high and it really is thornless. I think the flowers smell a little bit like a Christmas tree, it’s really pleasant. It is perfect for next to a path. 5b Denver area.

Such a delicate old fashioned looking bloom on a plant that is anything but delicate!
Incredibly vigorous, this plant will fill an area quickly, covering it in pink.
It handles the cold with flying colors.

This rose is tough!!! Green to the tips even after rough winters at 5,870ft. She is thornless (mostly), fragrant, re-blooms and already stretching close to 9 x4 feet in the third season. Definitely a favorite.
