| Good, at least so far. A little rusty at the very end of the season in my garden, but then again, so was almost everything else. Dark green, leathery leaves and a marvelous scent. Here's what mine looked like at first bloom. Almost a camellia-like bloom, don't you think? Kay

| Beautiful! How is it as far as thorns? Lots/little? And, how does it hold up as cut flower? |

| This rose interests me. The mention of rust bothers me, and I have NO idea where I'd put it, but I am interested. Jeri |

| My Sugar Moon just popped its' first bloom. It wasn't nearly as pretty as the pic above. I got two of these to see if it was better than PJPII. Hoping there is an improvement as it shattered pretty fast too. |

| Mine's been disease free and bloomed reliably through to December. Flowers are big and round and open slowly. On occasion, I got one that had overlapping petals and a flatter shape so that it looked exactly like a camellia. Looked very much like a full moon. Warmer weather brings smaller flowers. The fragrance has been pretty but not especially strong. I like the overall shape of the plant. |

| I bought mine around September as a 5 gal, pretty robust plant. It gave me a handful of lovely blooms before the season ended, the fragrance is heavenly. Into our winter the foliage is deep green, and extremely healthy. I'm definitely a non-white HT person, but one sniff and this baby came home with me. |

| I don't like to criticise a rose that is under three years old, but I have to say it has been an extremely shy bloomer here. There were a few blooms in the spring and then it sat bloomless, though very healthy, the rest of the summer. |

| I have one plant of it. I think it is its second season now. It didn't do much its first year. This past year it finally started putting out some flowers. However, because of the marauding deer in the area, it and the Della Reese rose next to it were always the first roses chomped on so I rarely got to see any flowers. This past fall it started coming out without the Bambi bites. It is actually quite pretty and very fragrant. I hope that because of the road work on my street and some habitat interference that the deer have gone elsewhere. Maybe I can see some more of Della and Sugar Moon. Both are pretty. |
