It took this Bourbon antique rose of ours almost four years to get established, and this is the reward: the start of its spring blooms with more to come. Since it’s a repeat, after its springtime flush is done, it should bloom sporadically the rest of the year, until another big bloom in the fall.
THE TEXAS SCRIBBLER 
Absolutely gorgeous! You obviously have a deep green thumb.
Actually, you just plant them, and they do the rest. ZD’s long time to get established is unusual in our experience. Most of our antiques are China roses and they bloom heavily in the first year and subsequently. But we wanted this one because of the color and the fact its canes have no thorns.
