Tess ROSE

My Tess had trouble out in the open winds of Kansas but moved into town with some windbreak and she has bloomed beautifully in Liberal, KS in November. The smell is devine. I can’t wait to see the flush of Tess come next spring. It will be her second spring in 2025.

Does well in Florida

Tess is a really good rose for Florida zone 9B. It started to bloom just a month or so after planting. Now in the subsequent year since initial planting, it is a regular bloomer. It seems well suited to this heat.

Beautiful and Fragrant

I planted Tess in a partial shade near my front porch and put in a large trellis for her to climb. I planted her in May, and she is blooming in June! the blooms are very fragrant. I hope she covers the trellis and makes my front porch smell like heaven!
