This will be a repeat of many other reviews, but it bears repeating. I planted this rose in a planter 4 weeks ago and it already has 9 blossoms. Incredibly beautiful. I've purchased 12 roses from Heirloom and most have been successful experiences. Two climbing roses, Jacob's Coat of Many Colors and Graham Thomas grew over 3 feet in 2 years with absolutely gorgeous blossoms. People think I have a green thumb, but I know Heirloom, their products and how-to-instructions are the reason my plants look so good. I wish I could have included the picture of Abraham Darby to show its beauty. Thank you, Heirloom, for making me look so good.
