My 11 year old "The Crepe Rose" is blooming prolifically today. The bush is at least 7' tall in a protected corner that only receives afternoon sun. A very tall old pine tree was removed 4 years ago and now it receives more light. The fragrance is powerful. Due to its current robust growth I had to check HMF to make sure it is The Crepe Rose. The photo shown on HMF looks exactly like mine. Miraculously it has escaped RRD...so far... prickles are nothing unusual. A good strong pink.
