Has done very well in my garden. Good vigor and shrub like form. More disease resistant than many of my other roses, but still needs a good spraying now and then. Not as resistant as a Drift or Knockout rose.
This rose is sold in some nurseries here in east PA/NJ as 'Fire and Ice'.
What compounds the potential for a problem is that an internet search for 'Fire and Ice' shows a number of photos of a red white bicolor rose that is much more like 'Snowfire', or 'Love'.
Without conducting a thorough investigation first, some buyers (like me) think they're getting a unique rose.
So, now I have Cherry Parfait in my front yard AND my back yard. It's worth it.

Many glowing reports from around the country that this rose is extremely hardy and disease resistant.

Striking blooms that vary in deepness of color thoughout the season. I loved my first Cherry Parfait so much I bought a second, so now I have one in my front yard and another in the sideyard rose garden. Like all my roses it does need spraying to keep clean of blackspot.
