I saw a picture of Valentine's Day too, and had to buy one. I haven't been able to find anyone that has this rose yet. It's still very small and has not bloomed. I can't wait to see what it looks like in person! I'll post back about it later after it blooms.

Any news on this one? I must admit the pictures are tempting. I'm particularly interested in disease resistance, repeat bloom, and the size of the plant.

I have a Valentine's on my back fence.I'ts about six years old,it's in partial shade and the fence blocks the cold north wind.I was suprised because it didn't bloom much at all this year,I don't think I gave it enough food.Year before last I had over a hundred blooms on it at one time.It is beautiful,I would like to trade cuttings of it if any on is interested.I live in West Houston,if we trade cuttings this will be my first time to trade,I will readup on it and mail correctly,and would love any advice on mailing cuttings.Thanks everyone!!!

Here's an update on my Valentines Day. It was only about 4" tall when I got it almost a year ago. I left it in a pot until September then planted it in the ground. Now it's about six feet tall!

I cut most of the blooms off last year so the growth would go into the roots, hopefully it will pay off this year. The blooms I did leave on were magnificent! A deep red color and they last a long time.

I'm growing it up a post. This rose is supposed to be fairly disease resistant, however I spray so I can't comment on that. When it blooms in mid April I'll post a photo here. So far, I would recommend this rose.

Hi Mark, I am am really interested to see what your plant looks like this year. I just got Valentine's Day, and would like to keep it in a large pot on my patio, growing up the pergola posts. How wide is your plant wanting to be?

Thanks,
Michelle

ps. Benny, the plant was not bred until 2004 according to HMF. ??
