Just like the seedling that flowered last year (froze to death in the last winter), this seedling from 2011 doesn't have a hunch of the scarlet, that the mother(hip-parent) displays.

In a book I read and saw that this rose was used as a tall climber, attached to a white castlewall.
It looked stunning.

Thanks, Jay-Jay.
A couple of the REFERENCES also mention that the rose can be trained as a climber, so I have brought forward that plant characteristic to the main rose page.
Smiles,

Schlarlaglut very quickly outgrew the space I had allotted for her and has been moved to where she can strut her stuff. (I was advised/warned by a rose grower in Oregon that she had reached a size of 12 X 12 in his garden.) She would stand beautifully up against a wall as JayJay suggests, although she doesn't rebloom, which might be disappointing. Her canes are very stiff, so the sort of training that we are familiar with for ramblers and a lot of other climbers doesn't seem to apply. She grows more like an Altissimo or a Captain Thomas.

Landperson, thank you for completing the info about the size it can reach! Although it doesn't rebloom, the new red canes and the beautifull great amount of nicely formed hips, are a great sight too when it doesn't bloom.
The flowering period is very long: up to six weeks! Depending of the weathertype.

I'll try and find the book/author again for more info and as a reference. Also try to find the name of the castle.

You are right that she is beautiful even when not blooming and that the bloom period seemed to last for a long time. This is one of those roses that I bought on impulse years back when Vintage Gardens still had a retail shop; one look at one bloom on a rose still in a band and I was hooked. I had no idea it was gonna be such an impressive -- and healthy !!!! -- rose.

One of its, this years, seedlings already has a flowerbud on its tiny little plant!
Maybe its repeatblooming (in flushes) ancestry reveils its self!
And critters are enjoying this little-one too! (as I see now revealed by taking photo's)

This rose has grown in my garden for over thirty years; it is POTENTLY fragrant, with a fragrance which is free on the air and can be sensed far from the plant.
