Gorgeous, Florence. What is the age of the rose in each picture? I am growing Lyda in dappled shade, but only because I ran out of prime rose spots but still want to fit in more roses:-). It blooms pretty well and is fragrant, and that's enough for me. Does the fragrance waft for you?

Have Lyda on my "Wanted" list for next year, though I have no idea where I'll fit any more roses. Just beautiful! The shade suits her.

did she get much more vigorous in the sun for you? I have some dappled-shade/part sun areas I could fit her, but wouldn't want to if she's scraggly and poorly blooming there.

About Lyda Rose and shade ---

Maschamcl----she is now 10 years old---in the the first picture she was just a couple of years old and yes the fragrance does waft----

Praire Rose----she did fine in the shade and I was pleased with her. She is right outside my kitchen sink window and she was delightful in the shade---she never looked scraggly but she REALLY spread out in full sun.

I think Lyda Rose and I both miss the shade of the beautiful old maple tree--LOL

Thanks, Florence--she is definitely on my must-have list then, for next year. Sorry about your big old maple--I lost a towering 100+ year old bur oak last year (just fell over, damaged the house and our shed) and my shade patio with hydrangeas, hostas, etc. suddenly became my burning-hot sun patio. Had to move a lot of stuff and start over--have new roses out there now. Silver lining, I guess.

Thank you SO much for posting these wonderful photos. I have two Lyda Rose bushes arriving today, and I have been searching for photos of the actual shrub to help me decide exactly where to plant them. There are many beautiful photos of the blossoms, but not the actual bush. I'm SO excited about this rose!!! My husband is mostly excited that they are thornless!

Mine sure isn't thornless ;-) But I absolutely love it. I have it pinned to a cedar and copper fence/trellis in full sun and it is spectacular.

Sharon-----Lyda rose did not get very big while growing in the shade of the large maple tree---I think if I remember correctly about 3X3 feet at the most-------she really took off in the full sun----

Mary---I'm happy you ordered this rose---I feel you will love her. My sink is by the three windows in the picture so we really enjoy this rose all summer---
Please keep me posted about how she grows in your zone---

I usually don't like singles, but Lyda Rose is such a beauty that I can't help wishing I had room for her. Reminds me somewhat of dogwood flowers. So happy to see this post come back up....Maryl
