I no longer have this rose and I do miss it. It was such a refined beauty in bloom but would immediately become disease ridden as hot weather began. Also known as the "wax rose", it grows to about 4 feet high with equal width and has an arching habit. It only blooms one time but when it does, it is spectacular! The blooms are a soft shell pink that have a tendency to fade in harsh sunlight. I actually received this rose as a substitute for another rose that I had ordered and I did enjoy it while it lasted. Unfortunately, the entire plant died one winter.
