Hybrid Tea Rose 'Snowfire'

In 1980 my father purchased a bare root "Snowfire". In 1996 after my mother's passing I moved my dad to be closer to me along with his "S...Read Morenowfire" I have enjoyed many, many years of salad plate sized fragrant blooms on a 5-6 ft. bush with dark green foliage. I had plans of moving into an apartment, knowing I wouldn't be able to move it with me, I gave it to my son, after being moved and transplanted to a new location for the second time, now he's enjoying the big beautiful blooms of the "Snowfire". I hope that he enjoys another 40 years of the most beautiful rose I have ever known. Recently my plans have changed and I will not be moving into an apartment, but purchasing a new home, my hopes are that I will be able to replace it when I get to my new home.

And it doesn't have any problems. It suggested on the care tag that i put some top soil and mulch down after i plant it. I failed to do this, as most of the places i went didn't have any in stock, so i let the rose grow in the natural soil. Very pleased with this gorgeous rose. :)

I love this rose! A friend had given it to me as a gift along with two other types of rose bushes. I am notorious for killing plants and ...Read Morethe other two died. But the Snowfire grew! I had it for 15 yrs and some of the roses were as big as my hand. The color and size is what caught everyones attention. I had to move and my rose bush was left for my daughter to enjoy. I am now looking for another one. It is simpily a beautiful rose.
