I planted Eustacia Vye last spring bareroot from David Austin. Flowers bleached white and slow growing but that is only in 6 hours of sun starting at noon. Good health though and fragrance is yummy up close. Only two flushes but the second was barely a flush. In my situation I think it deserves another year at least. @Rose Paris What is your climate/zone like? I have Gabriel Oak coming this spring. I'm hoping for some nice color with fragrance and hopefully decent health.

@nle3 Hi, i apologize that my Sweet Rose of Nine was planted on a hill-not good for its bare roots w/our cold freezes zone 6 & we had unusally too much rain giving it BS-si it didnt make it. It was a gorgeous rose & I may order it again for my back gsrden bed. We are habing a better summer, too too-so ai exoect to not have BS. Anyway, all my roses normally do well & are doing well now. i plant them in Miracle Gro Raised Bedding Soil mixed w/little cow manure. Careful to get no cow manure near any roots of rose. I sprinkle cow manure in surface and Espoma Rose Tone or Plant Tone to fertilze! I think the plants come in good condition first year anyway & are bound to bloom prolifically as that is ”what Sweet Rose of Mine Does!!!!” She will be great for you! i am sure if I get another she’d done fine in my flat bed w/winter protection. Another rose that blooms similar to Sweet Rose of Mine is ”Summer Romance Parfuma,” a Kordes! Blooms in light pink profusion-but very fragrant & more hardy-I bought her own root from Heirloom Rises and she gets less BS & is growing fabulous all budded up to bloom!

strawchicago, for me, the best bush beauty goes to lady of shalott, gabriel oak, desdeomna, boscobel, best fragrance goes to jubilee celebration, golden celebration, boscobel, lady of shalott, best bloom is probably munstead wood, princess alexandra, the poet's wife, eustacia vye, golden celebration, lady of shalott, olivia rose austin, no fadding? james l austin, grabriel oak, eustacia vye, boscobel, silas marner, sorry my list is too long cause i can't just pick one

That is amazing! It sounds like you’ve been taking amazing care of your snake plant and the results have really paid off. Best of luck with the fragrant flowers, I’m sure they’re gonna be gorgeous.
