I have had a Maria Stern Rose bush for 7 years now. I have found it to be a 'tempermental' rose. Some years it blooms well all summer a...Read Morend I get many comments on its beauty. Other years, for no reason I can determine, it will bloom sparsely or not at all. It is placed in the sun, always seems healthy, and does not suffer overly much from our cold winters (USDA zone 4b).
