Insanely vigorous! I'm growing this as a climber in Upstate South Carolina, on the edge of zones 7 and 8. There is plenty of black spot in my humid garden, but none of it touches this rose, or most of my other Kordes roses. Madame Anisette throws up big basal canes and gobs of buds. I've only had it in the ground for two years and the longest cane is probably 10 feet. The flowers are very fragrant (licorice, which I'm not crazy about), and they look like huge, fluffy, creamy cupcakes. They last quite a while on the plant and make great cut flowers. Some buds have balled in wet weather, but there are so many that it hardly matters. I'm going to be swapping out some unhealthy roses in my garden for more Kordes!

The blooms tend to ball in wet weather. Ours is now 7.5' tall instead of Kordes' 4'.

Came across some of these out at Roses Victoria yesterday and was super-impressed with the fragrance. Smells a lot like Spirit of Peace.

Since the seed parent is revealed (Berolina), as the denomination name KORberonem suggests, the pollen parent may very well be Nemo from Noack.
