Colleen ...
I grew it as a test rose for the breeder. I live in a climate with high summer temps, but so does the breeder ...
For me, I thought it was just an OK rose. I wasn't really all that impressed with its performance. There were no disease issues and it was sufficiently vigorous. The foliage is beautiful and worked well with the red blooms. It just didn't call my name and I was happy to pass it along ... with the breeder's permission.
