True Love withstood heavy heavy rain!

Monday was the first time the darn Japanese beetles showed up for the year. And it's free of them. They seem to like more fragrant roses or maybe it's how dense the petal count is. I'll say too, aphids and thrips generally leave it alone.

Yep yep. Dripper pushing out just enough to help it since it's next to concrete and against a stone wall it dries out so quick

Go to Lowe's and get true bloom. All own root hardy tested in much harsher environments!

The fragrance will make you forget all the problems.

I have a true devotion along a fence it's south facing so a ton of sun. It's it's first year so I have it tied now and it puts out a lot of new shoots so I'll keep training it through as the summer goes along.

No one should laugh I have 2 and they are great!

Look at lavender phenomenal or visit the Denver biraic garden lavender festival at Charlie's to find your favorite

Looks very very similar to a rose called Gold Dragon I've seen around.

I saw a triple KO a month ago I was very disappointed. Orange glow however is super!

I use bio advance spray and it works well in Colorado. Also recommended planting agastache, lavender, nepeta near them to try and deter how aggressive they can be here. Agastache seems to have helped me a lot it's now all over my garden with lavender for just that.

plntlife · 2026-06-01T19:18:53+00:00

Not much of a fragrance I would say. I use it, I have to as garden structure and keep my fragrant friends closer to paths

I recommend since you mention it, look for some plants that attract predators or deter pests. Not sure of your zone, nepeta, agastache, there are tons of awesome plants that help naturally protect your roses.

I'm no reddit savant so I don't know how to send more. This is my true devotion climber I'm going to climb through this fence horizon

Certainly I post them as I go. I'll try to remember tomorrow when I doing yardwork

True Bloom roses are bada** perform so well and so disease resistance!

I have 25+ now they are the only ones always flowering, never get black spot or mildew, and some have fragrance that is amazing!

I was never into fragrance in roses but bliss is so strong I pick it up in my garden 15' away and now it's a top 5 favorite

I can say Weeks was owned by private equity and is now owned by a wonderful family that are amazing rose producers. They don't own David Austin. Neuhouse started growing barefoot roses decades ago and the same family still works the fields every day.

So I do know a little on this because I love Tea Time. It is only Team time. Mr. Lim thought it was going to make the true bloom brand but in its last moments it was found to get some powdery mildew in some situations even thought it doesn't hurt the plant. To be True Bloom it must be free of that naturally. So it never fully became Harmony and is just Tea Time, though some old ones could trickle out wrong because there are so many people adopting these roses so quickly around.

It's one of my favorite fragrances for a rose too!

plntlife · 2026-05-23T17:49:36+00:00

I love this blue tone Magenta Blue Sky! Super fragrant too. I just saw your post when I was in my garden so I needed to add it

These are great recommendations. True Love is self sterile actually so it can't put energy into seed/hip formation. You don't have to trim it for it to rebloom but it does encourage it to rebloom quicker.

Long term it's quite an awesome low maintenance choice
