Floribunda Rose 'Valentine'

Very good rose for humid Houston. I find it highly BS really resistant. Dark red blooms that do not fade or shatter.

We bought several Valentine rose bushes from the Antique Rose Emporium over five years ago. They are planted on one side of our front ya...Read Morerd, in a corner near our fence and against the brick wall of our neighbor's house. So, basically, protected on 2 sides during the winter from winds. They get plenty of sun. They need minimal care. They have blooms almost all the time. Even in the winter. Even if there is icy weather. Or, an occasional snow. They get the warmth radiating off the brick wall from the sunshine during the winter. Which helps, too. They are beautiful.

Received this rose from a friend for birthday number 40! I had seen that the Antique Rose Emporium sells this as a container rose. I pu...Read Moret mine in a container in potting mix and my favourite slow rlease fertilizer in the pink bottle. I planted this in April and I was not disappointed! She took off like a rocket with the most beautiful red blooms. Pink is my rose colour of choice, but I can appreciate this beautiful shade of red.

Even in the mid summer here in North Texas, she is covered in blooms. They are smaller than the spring blooms, but gorgeous never the less. This plant has been covered in roses since April. I truly love this rose . She thrives well in her container with twice weekly watering. I placed her in my East facing garden, because I know red roses can fry in late evening sun.She gets only morning sun. I wish I was better at uploading pictures. My rose is more "floriferous' in mid summer than the ones pictured at this present time. Not boasting, just letting you know how gorgeous this rose is for me. Give her a try. You can purchase her online if you don't live in Texas.

I have a friend who has this plant and it performs beautifully. She lives in an area that is not bothered by deer. Deer travel through ...Read Moremy yard on nearly a daily basis. My question is, will the deer eat this variety of rose? Everyone says that deer will not eat roses, but they have decimated my rose bushes all the way to the ground for the past 5 years. I would like to grow this plant, but it would break my heart to see it all chewed to bits each year.
