Is this rose hard to grow? I'm looking for orange ones!

I had this a couple of years ago and just loved it. Unfortunately it didn't overwinter here :(

No, not hard to grow at all, just the usual rose care required. The blooms also last longer if the plant is in lightly dappled sun instead of full blazing sun.

Based on my experience, it's a better-than-average rose. Tolerates heat and humidity. Somewhat susceptible to blackspot (like other Austins) but not enough to affect survival. Blooms tend to have floppy stems and are not good for cutting but that's not uncommon for Austin roses. Great fragrance, full flowers, and attractive color. Try it!
