Floribunda, Hybrid Tea Rose 'Easy Does It'

Healthy & prolific with organic no-spray laziness in humid central VA. Chameleon saturated pastel shades unique to each blossom, 2 dozen ...Read Morein bloom with more buds coming along to replace them, truly continuous bloom from May through late fall, rounded bushy form clothed to the ground, fruity complex fragrance moderate to strong, no dieback - very impressive. Bought on sale & planted in November, this will be its 3rd spring front & center in a cottage garden where it coheres the colors & forms of a hodgepodge mix of tall foxgloves, phlox, lighter pastel roses, various silver foliage neighbors, cleome, dianthus, vines. Now 3x3' with literally no pruning needed or given, this is one delightful rose that has lived up to its name!

This is the best rose I've ever grown. It had no blackspot or any disease at all. The blooms are nonstop from Spring to frost. I spray al...Read Morel of my roses from time to time, but this one is definitely as disease resistant as the Knockout Roses. It's beautiful too! The petals are ruffled and change colors. At times they are orange and sometimes they are coral and pink. I received so many compliments on them. It looks really good with Russian Sage and Nepeta "Walker's Low." The colors really pop together. The leaves seem to appear earlier than my other roses. It's just a winner all around. I can clearly see why it was the only All America Rose Selection for 2010. I grew both a bare root plant and one that was potted. The bare root plant is now as large as the potted plant. It's such a tough, quick growing plant!

I absolutely ADORE this rose!!! Large blooms, blooms repeatedly, & smells absolutely OUT OF THIS WORLD!!! I have 2 of these bushes, & w...Read Moreish I had 10!!!
Can't say enough good about this rose! One of my all-time faves!!!

A real bloom machine for a larger rose. Light fruity fragrance. Bees seem to love this one. I have two and both have been very disease re...Read Moresistant. I haven't had the issue with the nodding blooms and skinny stems like the other member from Texas, mine sit pretty erect (see pics). A pretty loud color combo in my opinion but perfect for a more upbeat garden...very orange and very pink. The color gets lighter as the bloom ages though. It would make a nice specimen plant due to bloom production, vigor, and "look-at-me!" color.

Quick to set roots and a heavy bloomer in full sun (zone 9a). I have two plants purchased from different suppliers; one in full sun (pur...Read Morechased potted) and the other (bareroot) with morning sun only. Both plants have thin stems that can at times allow the blossoms to hang down. The flowers are very attractive, long lived on the bush and change color with time. The plant in full sun was almost completely covered with blossoms through July before leaf drop caused by the August heat and black spot almost completely defoliated it (it mostly recovered by late October). The plant in partial shade didn't suffer from heat loss or disease but didn't produce many blossoms. A lovely variety as long as you take its weaknesses into account.
