I planted 'Beverly' grafted to Multiflora rose stock from Palatine Roses in early spring, 2016. It produced beautiful, wonderfully fragrant blooms in June. As the summer heat increased, bloom quality declined (e.g., ugly brown edges on the petals), although the fabulous fragrance never faltered. As cooler fall weather settled in, the blooms became beautiful once again. So based on one season, it seems that 'Beverly' is stressed by hot summer temperatures and very happy in cooler weather in my zone 6b Pennsylvania garden.
