Love, love, love this rose. My sister and I both planted one last year and we had equal success with non stop blooms all summer in our zone 5 gardens. I love it so much that I just bought one for my non rose growing friend to try to enable her! She said she has tons of blooms too and can't keep her nose out of them!

Seconded. I love this rose- it blooms and blooms and the fragrance is to die for.
It is another of those Austin roses that I think might turn into a climber- It throws out long, arching canes. The pink color is very deep and tends toward a lavender-ish pink I think. Reminds me of a slightly darker Gertrude Jekyll.

Neat! I find Bishop's Castle to be a much lighter and softer pink than Gertrude Jekyll. GJ is famed for her rich, Pepto pink. I don't find BC to be darker at all. Much lighter, in fact. It's got to be a soil/climate thing!

I planted three Janet roses last spring. I bought them because Jackson & Perkins described them as having a "potent tea rose" fragrance. However, mine have virtually no scent, which has been a big disappointment to me, as I planted them along a little path where I thought it would be pleasant to have fragrance as one walked by. The flowers are very pretty, and the plant itself has grown into a sprawling monster, with long arching canes. I live in Los Angeles, about five miles from the ocean.

No scent on my Janet either. It is a very pale, translucent pink- blooms on the ends of long canes. Definately a climber. Im disappointed but Im going to keep her- I will move her somewhere where I can tie her up. I will say this- clean foliage! No disease problems for me with Janet.
