Heirloom Roses Nearly Thornless Rose Plant - Zéphirine Drouhin Pink Climbing Rose Bush, Bourbons Live Plant for Planting Outdoors

this is a beautiful rose, it’s everything and more. I couldn’t be any happier thank you.

Plant arrived in great shape and healthy new growth. I was not expecting any blooms until it was well established and a bit bigger but a bud showed up in just a few weeks. It finally opened today! I will purchase from this grower again!

Plant seems healthy and potting soil was still moist when I received it after 5-6 days of shipping. Had a heathy root structure in the bottom 1/4 of the pot it came it. Planted on a western facing wall in Georgia zone 8A that gets direct sun for about 5-6 hours a day. Going to try training it to a trellis. Heavy red clay soil which I amended with aged wood bark soil conditioner. Everything else I’ve planted this way has done great. After two weeks already has some eyes poking out but winter is coming soon so I’ll leave it alone for the most part until spring. Obviously hoping for the best considering the cost of these small rose plants and the effort I put into my plants (especially the roses!)

Arrived in poor condition but we assumed was dormant and would be OK. Planted immediately as directed and watered as directed. It was not over watered as we had no rain for a long time...only what we gave per instructions. It grew one tiny bloom and leaves grew in white and soon wilted. It looks like it is dying. We assumed powdery mildew? Found a multi purpose rose fungicide/fertilizer and gave it the first of three monthly treatments per season per instructions. So far, no improvement. Our other Zephirine Drouhin rose we bought from another online nursery and it is is doing fine (their last one available). But it was just a quart size and smaller plants adapt better to shipping/transplant. We would return this sickly plant but the grower demands original packaging that we did not save as we ordered some 50+ plants all in heavy packaging and hadn't the room. So I am not happy though I understand the growers position. Will report back if we are able to nurse this baby back to health. Else we are out $60 and will never order plants thru Amazon again.

Updated 5/31/2022I am soo excited. They are growing healthy. The damaged one that I was soo worried about are growing flower buds - 11 buds in less than 2 months from planting. Thank you. Love love them. Changing my rating to 5 stars.————They arrived sooner than the estimated arrival schedule and well packaged. One plant looked nice and not damaged and could have given 5 stars but one plant had lots of broken and damaged main shoots. I hope new stronger shoots will grow but one plant will most likely struggle compared to the other one. Let’s see in a few weeks.

First of all, the rose was packaged well and arrived in good condition. This is the first rose I've planted at our home, but it won't be the last. It's already responding to being in the ground, and putting out new leaves. I can't wait until I can get it growing on a trellis.Just a tip. To get more blooms on climbing roses, train the canes horizontally as that will make them bloom along the cane and not just at the tip of the cane.

Two years no bloomDONT buy

Arrived quickly ,very well packaged arrived beautiful!!!No complaints it is amazing.Thank you so much!Good size blooms too!
