One of my favorite roses. I tried to root cuttings taken in a public garden some years ago but none survived. (Actually out of 12 cuttings from four different roses I got just one survivor, a Duchesse de Montebello.) Alas!, there is no more room in the garden anyway.

I could bud-graft one for You, if You would like me to.
It is a very easy rose to maintain and has many faces as for color.
From seeds I got this year two seedlings. And one from 2014, that hasn't flowered until now. I'm curious about the flowers... it looks like a climber.

Yes it is one to look up to... and what a rewarding rose.
Did You see the photo's of this rose, I uploaded earlier? (Photo's tab for Paul's Himalayan Musk Rambler)
↕ at least 10 meters.. if not 12.

I couldn't resist the urge to prune no longer too... and pruned part of the climbers. Old (historical) roses will follow soon. And over here a little bit of frost during the nights too.
We'll cross our fingers.

It was too early yet again. Several of my older roses lost a few inches here and there to late night frosts. But come on, this year the Forsythia finally blossomed in mid-April. Who would have thought Spring would wait that long!?

I saw Your pictures with lots of hail. Your flowering-season will be later this year.
The frost didn't harm the roses over here, but the snow and the temperature-shock later with lots of sun and dry eastern winds.
But who am I to complain about that, now the roses are beginning to bloom?

They are, though so far only the burnet roses are doing anything serious, and today's sleet storms were no fun for them either. But, so far anything blossoming this Spring, rose or other shrub or tree, has been a mountain of flowers. June could be fun.

A healthy, fast-growing, completely unproblematic rose. Does well even in a location shaded most of the day, but will do long shoots to find more light of course. Mine stands at the garden border north of a 6 ft. wall and in the shade of our neighbour's huge firethorn. It grows along a chain towards to the sun. Huge clusters of long-lasting flowers.
