despite the references, the ability to repeat is douptable. rosenhof schultheis says it is not.

I realize this was an old comment, but for what it's worth, it definitely has three flushes of bloom at the Rudolf van der Goot Rose Garden in Somerset, NJ, US zone 6b.

THE HISTORY OF PEONIES RIVIERE
The history of their nursery began at Caluire in the Rhône in 1849. It is first of all an establishment of general nurseries created by Fleury Jean-Baptiste Gabriel Ruitton (1813-1893). His son Francis Ruitton (1838-1905) developed the first crops of Herbaceous Peonies .
The son in-law of Francis Ruitton, Benoît Rivière (1865-1913), greatly expanded the culture and added crops of Tree Peonies. In 1908, the catalog had already 360 varieties of Herbaceous Peonies and 240 varieties of Tree Peonies. Benoît Rivière participitated in the floral exhibitions in Bordeaux, Lyon and Paris and in London or Turin where he won numerous awards. Benoît Rivière died in 1913 at the age of 48 years while his son Antoine was only 11 years old. His wife Marie was able, however, to retain a portion of the crops until 1925 at which time Antoine could take over the management of the nursery.
Antoine Rivière, despite difficult conditions until the late '40s, maintened the collection and added his own new varieties until 1980, date of his death.
At that time, his son Michel, who picked up the nursery for over 20 years, decided to reduce the activity of the general nursery and to specialize it in the collection of Peonies. New varieties created by Rivière nursery, as well as new ones from China, Japan, Switzerland and the United States, gave a new impetus to the establishment. In 1990, this specialty became exclusive.
A new installation was needed to improve the culture conditions. It is at Crest (Drôme) at the foot of the Vercors mountains, the crossroads of Dauphiné and Provence, near the Rhône valley that Jean-Luc Rivière, sixth in line, continues now this exciting research work : obtaining, multiplication, cultivation and selling the Peonies. The collection now includes more than 750 species, varieties, and hybrids of Tree Peonies and Herbaceous Peonies, as well as many "Itoh Hybrids". This collection, recognized french national collection by the CCVS (Conservatoire des Collections Végétales Spécialisées) is world famous and remains the largest in Europe.

this rose turned out to be hardier than described, because it made it through last winter which was very severe here (-30 °). even some gallicas faded away.

I have to agree, over here it survived with flying colours lower temps than -20°C.
See my pictures of last year and last winter.

It suffers from die-back in a cold U.K. winter such as 2010 when the temperature dropped to -18 in my location. We generally get cool wet summers that encourage sappy growth in climates with warmer drier summers plants can tolerate colder winter temperatures.

Andrew, please take a look at this photo: http://www.helpmefind.com/rose/l.php?l=21.191847 Juicy as possible... and the photo's taken at later moments. Brown leaves, but like a Phoenix it came back, despite the similar climate as Yours.
Maybe You fertilized it with too much Nitrogen late in the season???

Oh yes very much like that although there are far fewer leaves on my plant in winter. It is only in a very cold year that this happens. The problem in The U.K. is that being an island we don't have a continental climate with long summers and long winters. Spring can start in February and Winter can still be hanging around in May, the same in reverse happens in autumn. My garden increases this problem being in the bottom of a valley. Growing vegetables is difficult as there is quite a short growing season in 2007 I had a -3 frost on May 23rd. Frosts occur in June and September frequently, in 2015 there was a bloody frost in July! High rain fall in summer and constant heavy dew create the perfect conditions for blackspot although I have almost never seen any types of mildews or of rust. I don't feed any roses in open ground after the beginning of July but that does not stop weak and sappy growth continuing to grow throughout October and into November. But as you say, "like a phoenix" Madame Alfred always bounces back. It is always just about the first rose to start blooming and the last to finish. Although on average years I would estimate my garden to be zone 7 it is rather immaterial because winter can be so erratic, in 2015 we had a temperature of 14.5 as a night time low in December, a record warm temperature, in 2010 during the same period I woke to find crab claws of frost on my bathroom mirror!! I think die back also has something to do with mineral deficiencies in the soil, boron in particular, which I am attempting to correct and will write about my ideas on that matter in due course.

Is Don Juan disease resistant? I live in Victoria BC and have trouble with blackspot and mildew. I am looking for a med. red climber for a pillar in the front yard but I don't spray. The front yard is south facing.

here in austria it is a very common, often planted climber, although not performing well if planted in hot and dry sites. the flowers will then burn easily and mildew is a big problem.

People love this rose for its velvety blooms, which most noses find to be exceptionally fragrant and excellently scented. As a plant, it's kind of ho hum. It has middling overall disease resistance, with some tendency to rust. Moderately vigorous, reasonably robust. People forgive it because they love those flowers, but there are much more disease resistant roses out there, if you really need that.
I'd also add that this is a rose best grown by doors, or commonly used walkways (but not sidewalks, where the flowers will be stolen). It's not the most floriferous of plants, so from a distance it's not all that special, it's just wonderful up close. You'll probably be pleased with this rose to the extent that you can exploit that, whether in your garden, or in a vase on your table.
