This cultivar is listed as triploid in the paper 'Pollen diameter and guard cell length as predictors of ploidy in diverse rose cultivars, species, and breeding lines'

This rose is very susceptible to blackspot was my experience in my previous garden.
Even a lot more than Zéphirine Drouhin at that place.

This rose is one of my very favorites here in Maine where growing roses can be difficult to say the least. She is on her own root which is a big plus. In arrangements she is outstanding mixed with other flowers. I can't reccomend this rose enough! This rose should have gotten awards. B. Weiss, Maine, USA

As these roses bloom, should i should i not cut the blooms off? Will it decrease the number of flowers the next season to prune during the blooming season? How much should i cut back in the fall? These roses are GORGEOUS the very first year in my landscape and i don't want to harm them. Thank you for your response.

Hi, these are some of my very favorites, and I am so sad that all 3 of mine in the front yard have succumbed to "rose rosette" virus; this may not be in your area at all. I am in Kansas City. At any rate, these make the best crop of pretty rosy-orange little hips I've ever see, and hold their foliage well into early winter. Cutting them for rebloom doesn't seem to help them bloom much more. You will get the occasional bloom cluster after the big June flush. In September-Dec. it will be LOADED with these pretty hips, which look outstanding with the fall blue asters. Just cut off those silly long canes it makes, and shape it in springtime. Other than that, they are totally carefree. Mine were for 8 years or more, until this stupid virus reared its ugly head in my neighborhood. Enjoy your roses!
