I love this rose! Its blooms are huge, very full, and it has a lovely fragrance. i have some now in a vase that are lasting quite well, as they do on the bush. The blooms start out in classic high-scented hybrid tea form and later become pointed. This is one of the most showy plants in my garden. It's located in an area that receives more shade than I like, but hasn't seemed negatively affected, as some of its neighbors are.

My 2nd year own-root plant recovered nicely from a dry winter. Now, she's very vigorous and has buds all over. She's a little later to bloom; has no sign of blackspot which many of her neighbors have shown. Still a very fine rose with really crappy flowers (when wide open).
