It's a fairly weak rose, but it's one of the own-root darlings I bought from Amity, so I knew in advance that I would have to nurse it along carefully to keep it alive. I've had it for more than seven years and it still has only two canes, about two feet tall. It does produce several lovely blooms each year, though. I wish I could have found one grafted because I suspect it's a rose that will never grow well on its own roots. I think Hortico was carrying a grafted Solitaire recently, but it has been years since I've trusted Hortico to send me healthy plants that aren't mislabeled.
