I'm writing my 1st post on Help Me Find because I wanted to praise Marie Van Houtte as one of the healthiest and most overall attractive roses that I know of.

Its growth habit is fairly strong, but mannerly, its blooms are very attractive and come in strong flushes in the spring and fall and it appears disease free in my no-spray garden.

Its only drawback is that it does not have a strong scent, at least to me.

Highly, highly recommend it to anyone looking for a moderate sized, well-mannered climbing rose.

I garden in Zone 9b, so I can attest to its heat tolerance, but of course not to its cold tolerance.
