| I've been growing this rose for about four years in a hot, dry area of Southern California and it's turned out to be a very difficult rose for me. It doesn't bloom that often, and has barely bloomed at all this year after a winter with little rain, even though it's watered every day. I consider it my most problematic tea rose and would not grow it again. If you have the room Le Vesuve blooms a lot more but it does grow rather wide and has small, nasty thorns. Still, I love my two and wouldn't be without them. Ingrid |

| I have Souvenir d'un Ami (can't remember if I got it from RU, however). It took a couple years to get started but it is a great rose for me. Very healthy and blooms a lot. Nice, full, fragrant blooms. It is an area that gets partial shade, but that is a good thing in my hot, forever sunny climate. It is about six feet tall now, but has a rather upright, slender shape, so it is not too wide. Great rose; one of my favorites. |

| Wow, mine is only about 3 1/2 feet tall and as mentioned hasn't bloomed much at all, really just a very short spring spurt and nothing since then. So discouraging. Ingrid |
