Feedback from experienced rose growers:
I planted Francis only last spring on the 22nd. Over the summer, the bush grew to 1.5 m, perhaps because it was planted in partial shade. It bloomed until the frosts, there was no emergency, although this year, due to the lack of prevention, other roses caught it. I fell in love with it, I can say, at first sight - the shape and color of the flower, the aroma, the health. I really hope for a good winter. I'm worried because the mole (... bad words...) dug quite a lot, despite my efforts. (If it dies, I will definitely buy it again.
In the year of planting it gave good growth, the bush strives to be proportionally lush. The smell is simply amazing. The color is calmly noble. The flower is not stuffed, but the petals are evenly distributed, giving a refined airiness. The combination with pink roses is unsuccessful. In companions I see warm white, creamy roses, yucca. The rose needs space, because the bush is beautiful. One of my favorite roses.
The flowers do not fade for a long time, blooms profusely. The most amazing thing is the color of this rose, it seems to glow from the inside, and at sunset it is impossible to take your eyes off it. I planted it as a separate bush on a bright green lawn, the bush has grown evenly in all directions, a decoration of the entire garden. The aroma also adds charm to this variety. It is resistant to diseases, and also the fifth winter hardiness zone. I recommend it.
This rose is my first year. However, it has already managed to pleasantly surprise me. Every morning, approaching it, I tried to feel its aroma. But, as luck would have it, it was still not there. I no longer hoped for anything. And suddenly... What is this? One fine day I approached the rose and did not believe myself. - This can't be, - I thought. The rose emanated the strongest aroma of lemon balm!!! It cannot be confused with anything. But, unfortunately, this miracle did not last long. The very next day, only memories remained from the aroma... But even for this enchanting aroma, I am ready to forgive it everything. Earlier in the review I said that the aroma is weak. But yesterday, on a cool autumn day, I felt the rich, magnificent aroma of French perfume. The rose was so fresh and good that it was hard to believe in its transformation. It grows in cramped conditions in the shade in the backyards, in the heat it was always eaten by beetles and I stopped thinking about it a long time ago. Yesterday's Francis Blaise struck me with its magnificence - the color, shape of the flower, the aroma were exquisitely noble. I came to a conclusion for myself: the rose does not like heat, it should grow in partial shade; the bush is narrow, you need to plant at least three next to it to distinguish it from the general rose garden.
