Gee, it looks like it's a lovely rose. Don't know why no one that grows it has answered you.

I don't grow either, however if I run across it somewhere i will buy it.

My Gentle Giant is a lovely rose. The growth rate is medium for a HT. Here it is disease free...no BS or Mildew. We have little mildew pressure here and no rust that i know of.
In my garden it receives shade from 3pm on. I fertilize with horse manure and manure tea. The bush is well fertilized with the above as it pushes out large blooms. The bloom cycle is approx. 3-4 per cycle.
But, please note that I live in Western Washington so I can't say how it would do for you...give it a try. Good luck

Thanks for your replies. I have ordered this rose from S&W Roses for delivery in February, just couldn't resist! It's weird how one gets excited about a new rose they haven't seen before. It is just so lovely decided I MUST have it!!

Hi, this is a very good rose. My neighbor has this and I have other hybrid tea roses that do quite well in Georgia. This rose is available at Heirloom Roses. I plan to get one as soon as I find some room in my huge rose garden!
