very thorny canes..but very hardy..grown in Ontario Canada for eight years..no protection needed.
blooms like crepe paper..but the fragrnace is heavenly..the real old fashioned rose fragrance.
This rose is a hardy and very fragrant rose. The stems are very thorny. Blooms are a bit floppy for me. No special care is needed in zone 5a. The metal tag says it is a Jackson and Perkins rose.
