I purchased this plant from roses unlimited. So far it has grown quickly, showing gorgeous flowers with a intense, sweet fragrance.

I just read your 2007 entry about Tipsy Imperial Concubine. I have one, and am debating whether to plant it in the rose bed, or keep it potted.
How has yours done since you made the initial entry?
Does it bloom frequently?
How susceptible is it to spider mites, and black spot, etc.
I would love to read some personal experience regarding this plant.
Thanks, Gloria Barnett (zone 7b)

p.s.
If you could write how this bush grows, I would appreciate it.
Is is tall, short, upright, loose/spreading in terms of branching.
Knowing these things would greatly help me decide where to plant it.
Also, please include info about bloom frequency ... i.e., spring flush only, with fall flush, intermittent blooms all summer season, constantly in bloom,etc.
Thanks again, Gloria Barnett (zone 7-b)

dear anonymous,
keep it potted, it will never be a tall bush.
please have a look into the book 'tea roses for warmer gardens' where description of tipsy is matching exactly my experience.

Tea Roses for Warmer Gardens says in Europe it's classed as "low growing", in warmer climates it still stays low-ish because branches come away from the base... never has the framework for a large-tall bush. It's kind of spreading, basically. Their rough estimate is under 1 m to 2 m.
It apparently balls easily in damp weather or with overhead watering.
The cut flowers are long lasting, apparently, btw.

P.P.S.
Two more questions regarding Tipsy:
What has the bloom frequency been for you?
Is it disease resistant, or disease prone for you?

Franz, I saw your entries regarding 3 roses I am thinking of planting:
Comte de Chambord, Mme Isaac Pereire, and Souv. de la Malmaison.
I live in NC, where summers are hot and humid. Knowing that, what would be your recommendations for planting (or not) those 3 roses.
Do you have any tips on planting, garden placement, and care for them.
Your roses photos are lovely--thanks for sharing.
