This rose seems to be just as vigorous as Belinda's Dream. Here's the first bloom.

Comments (3)Sammy, Take It Easy would be great in front of the house. It quickly grows tall and the light colored reverse makes the blooms extra showy. Dense foliage has been very healthy here despite our high temps (90's May to October) and humidity. Ours are two years old and probably unlike many shrubs are taller than they are wide....See MoreBelinda's Blush, Im impressed.
Comments (1)Thanks Ken, that’s definitely one I’ll check out. Look forward to seeing your pictures....See MoreWhat's blooming today June 11, 2020 - Jasmina, others
Comments (5)Should say Queen of Elegance....can't believe I typed that....too many senior moments lately! Vapor - Jasmina has never had much cane, seems like if she puts out a new one an old one dies back. But I've been tying and propping all my roses over and over all winter and spring. A lot of high winds but also a lot of growth because of no winter dieback. I can't remember about the cleaning but will find out very soon! I have Laguna that needs deadheaded now and that takes a good day and a quart of blood....See MoreHelp with research on potential new roses
Comments (13)Looks like a very fun list! I've grown several and can give you another zone 5 perspective. Princess CdM was a bit of a diva for me and wouldn't overwinter own root. I have her coming grafted and would strongly recommend you buy her that way. Others in town have had luck with her grafted. If she's happy I've seen her get 4-5' tall and bushy. Belinda's Dream is rock solid hardy often to the tips but does prefer sun. Her blooms look like Erasmus noted, and she stays modestly sized (3-4') in my climate in a cold spot of the yard. I grew her between houses on the east side of my yard in a fair bit of shade (a virtual zone 4) and she needed some time to regrow and bloom. In that spot you're right that she was more of a once-bloomer but she's so glorious she deserves a more sunny spot as I replant. Belinda's Blush has been surprisingly finicky compared to how reliably hardy Belinda's Dream is. I have tried it 3 times so far and it hasn't even pretended to overwinter in a prime location. I should probably try it grafted but BD does fine own root so it shouldn't seem to matter. G. Otto Linne would be getting replaced in my yard if he had looked anywhere as glorious as Erasmus' pictures, but mine didn't. It limped along for several years in part sun and bloomed now and then but frankly I had trouble finding him. He's supposed to be hardier than he was for me. Vineyard Song was a better bloomer in part sun, but if Northland ever restocks the hybrid musks Sigrid and Sven they blow any of the others out of the water for amazing visual impact and continuous rebloom, rock solid hardiness and general health. I like Prairie Snowdrift and I'm replacing it. I grow it in part sun on the shaded north side of my house that is a cold spot and it laughs off the winter. It makes a good sized bush at least 4' well rounded, and reblooms pretty well. It's not the constant bloomer of the Ping LIm Snowdrift or the achingly beautiful cascades of white butterflies that is Morden Snowbeauty, but it's healthy and reliable. I love the stripes and Pop Art is an absolute keeper for me. I only had it for 2 years before the RRD wave of destruction, so I can't comment on long term survival, but it overwintered an average cold season. So far it stayed small (no more than 3-4') but it rebloomed and bushed out well. I didn't have any problems particularly with blackspot on it, but I do recommend grafted. I am replacing Enchanted Peace and absolutely recommend grafted in zone 5 for any of the Peace cultivars. With consistent snow cover you might be able to overwinter them to a decent size but I never could. They're lovely though and rebloom well with time. Needs full sun I think. Party Hardy was in part sun for about 5 years and I can't recall many blooms if at all. I don't plan to replace it. The blooms weren't nice enough to give it prime real estate for more blooms. I planted Hera's Song in part sun and it didn't overwinter that year but I can't say that's a habit. I might replace it but it's not a high priority. I probably have some pictures but can't access them now. Just my reactions from my yard! Cynthia...See More- 6 years agolast modified: 6 years ago

5 years agoI love this rose, if she had more fragrance, she would be perfect. No balling in our wet, wet weather and huge blooms, loaded with buds. I had picked this up from ARE, ordered Belindas dream for spring, cant wait!
