Even though the blooms shatter fast, it's still a must have for me.

And Friends,

My Heritage is blooming a lot her first spring-summer. I purchased her last fall. She has 6-8 hrs sun. In summer more sun! Shes’s in front corner bed. She has about 10+ buds or blooms & blooms non-stop. I like her glossy thick dark green leaves and vibrant light pink cup blooms! Gorgeous! Hoang, Your rose is one to strive for blooming, has a few more oetals tgan my first year rose!!!

Your Heritage has the best color and very healthy leaves. I should had bought it to sniff its scent. What are some scents that you enjoy most in your garden? Thanks.

So glad you posted these pics. I am growing Verbascum Milkshke this year (got the seeds in a trade) and I have great germination. It's good to know it's height. I am also growing 3 types of Rose campion - fuschia, white, and angel's blush so they should should be beautiful together. I am told they are biennials and will bloom the second year, but the fuschia and white are such great re-seeders you will probably never be without them. Nice photos.

Hi Caroline, I think I live quite near you. I look forward to reading your posts and experiences with David Austin roses since we are pretty much in the same zone. Like you, I hope I live long enough to see all my Austins grow and thrive since I am a latecomer with my addiction for them. I have a large rose garden that finally, just this year has begun to reward us for all our very hard work. I had a thriving crop of thistle that has taken us 12 years to overcome but we won the battle. We have very heavy clay soils and have been hauling trailer loads of horse manure compost in every few weeks to help. We see wonderful results. Maybe we can meet in person one day and share our love of roses.

Hello Hoang Ton, how is your beautiful Double Easy Orange doing for you this spring? Could we have some more gorgeous photos? What is the width of your rose now? HMF says 2 feet wide, but I think it gets wider than that. Have you tried growing DEO in the ground yet? Thanks, Diane

I just visited the San Jose Municipal Rose Garden this last weekend. I was looking for which rose bushes met these criteria: Super healthy, very pretty, lovely fragrance. Hands down -- Grande Dame won the prize. And this was August! I was so impressed with the bushes in San Jose, I'm on the Heirloom website now to see if I can order one! Your roses look gorgeous, @Hoang Ton - Zone 9a!

PS--I liked those CDs hanging in the background. Do your roses enjoy music? Diane

Diane, the reason for the CDs is an attempt to scare the squirrels away, they're eating my peaches....and I heard the deers avoid it to.

I knew that was what you were doing. Nothing scares off the birds around here, or the deer. I hope it works for you. Diane

I believe Sam Kedem called Heritage ”special”.

Sorry, i was being sarcastic.

i admire your heritage. i bought 5 in spring 2019 with the hopes they would look like yours!

mine is in 4 hours of sun and has performed very underwhelmingly.

How much sun does yours get?

do you spray?

jc_7, mine gets 6hr+ of sun, i do have a person does the spraying for me but heritage doesnt seem that bad with health, it is the poet’s wife that has the poorest health

jc_7a_MiddleTN I caught on to your sense of humor, your pic. made me smile. Thanks. My own-root Austins are non-bloomers most of the time in 4 hrs. of sun.

Im going to move mine into more sun this fall.

I really like that the blooms shatter freely and cleanly.

Thats a geat way to describe them.

They are very delicate looking snd blow so fast they dont really linger to a point of being unattractive.

I have grown Heritage twice. The first plant that I bought many years ago was growing but not overly vigorous. It was not the worst but definitely not the best compared to my other roses. Unfortunately I lost her last winter. The second plant which I bought many years later was planted in the front of my house. Now this bush is really vigorous, tall and have so many blooms on it especially after a mild winter. I was pleasantly surprised since my first plant did not make a good impression on me. It is true that the petals scattered fast but I still love it better than my New Dawn. Now trust me, ND petals drop very fast. With Heritage I can at least enjoy a few days of blooms but never with ND.

BTW Hoang, I discover your videos on youtube channel before I found out you are an active member on this forum. I love all the videos you have posted. Keep doing it so we can enjoy more of your garden.

Kitty, am relocating 3 of mine to a spot with more sun in the hopes they turn a corner.

@jc_7a_MiddleTN Wonderful! Relocating usually does the trick! Little more sun fir your Heritages will get them blooming more! ! I am amazed that she blooms all the time almost… just a few blooms but always a new one opening!

Hi,

It’s fall and my Heritage is still blooming happily w/ about 10 blooms at end of first season of blooms!!!! An ever bloomer! She always has blooms every day as I walk beside her! A fabulous DA-a must have! She is about 5 ft, tall, too ! Vigorous in full sun 6-8 hrs.

Heirloom Roses discontinued Heritage after I bought her from them own root. David Austin Roses , Texas, still sells her!!!!!! Woohoo!
