This is one of my top 5 favorite roses. A superb blending of old and new, Heritage is a rose with many strengths and few weaknesses. The cupped, blush pink blooms held aloft in sprays of three to seven offer us a glimpse of rose perfection. The major shortcoming of Heritage is the fragility of the blooms, but new blooms follow quickly as remontancy is excellent. Disease resistance is good, although mildew and rust may be a problem from time to time.
Canes are virtually thornless, and the shiny, green foliage remains fairly clean from blackspot.
Growth habit is bushy on a nicely formed shrub which will be attractive in the mixed border. Heritage is one of the great English roses and deservedly so.
