A great rose... While not very fragrant, I will say its been healthy, vigorous and lush. The blooms stand up nicely to the elements including rain, damp conditions and full on sunshine. The blooms last nicely and are wonderfully formed. The bush is quite self-supporting in my experience without sprawling or collapsing under the weight of its blooms. It has actually exceeded my expectations when I purchased it. I'd happily recommend this one (for the UK anyway... I expect it ought to be well received elsewhere as well.
