Thanks. I just got it this year. It is growing like crazy and is covered in these beautiful dark red flowers with yellow reverse. I wasn't sure if I was going to like it, but so far it's outstanding.

Mine has been growing like a weed & putting out flowers like this from the get go. I have it where it gets afternoon shade from about two o'clock on.

RE: Dark Night

A little shade would be good for this one. Mine gets crispy if it gets too hot.

It's gorgeous! I'm so jealous. I had ordered this and a couple other roses from Edmunds and they never got my initial order. I had to resubmit it in May. The plants arrived right away, and were in great shape, however, DARK NIGHT never broke dormancy. It died back to the bud union and I kept hoping it would shoot something out eventually. But, unfortunately, it recently turned all brown. I need to call Edmunds and tell them so they can replace it next yr. What irritates me the most, is the fact that this was the rose I wanted the most of all the new ones this season. I'm just glad to hear it's doing well for everybody who did manage to get it.

RE: Dark Night

ph, that DK is absolutely dropdeadgorgeously stunning !!!!!

Silly me, I immediately go to imagining a bouquet of just DK accompanied with a contrasting rose like Sunset Celebration or the like. That would be a jawdropper fer sure......but then that's just me and I'm just sayin ;-)

RE: Dark Night

I had the same idea as boxofrox. Mine are planted next to Sunstruck. It's beautiful when they bloom together. :)
