  • Just saw this rose for sale at the local hardware store, and it looks like it falls into the category of thornless/nearly thornless.
  • Here in southwest WA, with moderately warm, dry summers without much humidity, it thrives with little care and blooms abundantly. Appears to have some disease resistance. An excellent red rose for this region, at least.
  • This rose will be an experiment for me this year in Michigan, zone 6a, in a somewhat protected area. I hope it will make it through our next Michigan winter. It is a more tender rose according to descriptions. I bought it because of the following.

    It is:

    * a is vigorous rose, blooming in flushes from spring to autumn.
    * an excellent bedding rose. The rose was named an All-America Rose Selections winner in 1993.
    * a tall, upright shrub, 5 to 6 ft tall with a 2 to 3 ft spread according to the package and online descriptions.
    * a robust bloomer, blooms are 4 to 5 inches wide, with a petal count of 26 to 40. Bloom form is high-centered and cupped. Buds are long and pointed, with yellow petals edged in red.
    * has flowers that are bright red and yellow,. The red areas remain, but fade as the flower fades.
    * disease resistant.
    * fragrant. Flowers have a mild fragrance in flowers borne singly or in small clusters.

    Rosa 'Rio Samba', (aka JACrite), is a bicolor hybrid tea rose cultivar, developed in 1991 by William Warriner. It was introduced into the United States by Jackson & Perkins in 1992.

    The shrub is thorny, and has medium, matte, dark green leaves.

    It is disease resistant, and thrives in USDA zone 7 and warmer.

    Introduced by David Austin in 2021 in the UK. Named for Aneurin (Nye) Bevan, a Welsh Labour Party politician and Secretary of State for Health and Social Care. Clement Atlee's government introduced the National Health Service enshrining free care at the point of use in the UK. The rose is soft yellow fading to cream with a light myrrh fragrance.
  • Talking about Rose (Rosa 'Windermere'), dnrevel wrote:
    This fragrant, highly disease resistant beauty is raved about in the cut flower circles online, a sought after David Austin variety. I've ordered 3 arriving today and will report back on how they do in SE Michigan. Characteristics include opening first with a slightly yellow tinge, then full open white & cream colors.

    It is repeat flowering and is described on the website and elsewhere having a medium-strong, fruity, citrusy scent. The blooms are medium, shrub size 4ft x 3ft. Full, lush blooms, with a petal count of 80. I will be using it in a mixed border. It can also handle some shade.
