Now closer to maturity, Sophia Renaissance produces new canes that grow up to the 12 foot eaves of my house. The plant has shocking disease resistance in my garden. I never see foliage or cane disease.

In my Zone 8b garden, Sophia grows to 6.5 ft. in height after fairly firm pruning (down to about 30 inches). The flowering stems are easily 24 inches long, with bloom in small clusters of three blooms or singly. Growth habit is upright but well-clothed with lovely foliage. The plant has shown itself impervious to the common fungal disease here, which are rust and powdery mildew. Summer days are in the mid-90's ℉ but nights are cool, down to 50℉, and often foggy.

Absolutely my wife's favorite of all my roses. The downside is that this particular rose is not winter hearty and may (will) require additional winter protection depending on your area. Certainly worth it if your willing to put that extra effort into helping it through the winter however.

I have this rose growing in Michigan. This is it's 3rd year and it is full and blooming now (june). For winter, I mulch up around the base with the leaves I collect from my fall clean up. In spring, after frost, I remove the mulch and trim any dead off the rose. I have had good luck with it returning. This year it is full and blooming. I have noticed the the canes are not very strong and I lost two during a spring storm. My rose is not very tall, only about to my knees and I am short.
