I was beginning to think this rose was named as a bit of a joke- profuse it was not! I posted the original pics of its first blooms, in 2013, then nothing- it sulked for the next 3 years. I moved it out of the pot and into the ground; still nothing. However, it remained the healthiest evergreen bush in the garden- never any disease, leaf drop, mildew or blackspot, so I kept it. It just didn't grow much, or flower at all,until this spring, when it seems to have just exploded. Its planted right at the end of the driveway, so people stop to admire it!
No fragrance at all but it still as healthy looking as ever. Now I am curious to see what the repeat will be like.

Probably far too soon to make any sort of statement at all about this rose, but as it seems to be being sold in every Bunnings store this year, and I have one, here it goes. Bought as a potted bareroot from local Bunnings store in June/July this year (Aus winter 2017), so its not old enough to say anything much about yet. I dont use fungicides or sprays at all, so its survival of the fittest here. Has been a bit of blackspot on old post spring leaves, so its looking a bit naked legged right now, but new growth is continuing, and it has remained completely mildew free. Flowers are pleasantly scented, but not overwhelmingly fragrant ; no balling, and they dont seem to be affected by the weird hot/cold weather sudden spurts of rain that make up a Melbourne spring. Seems to be a slow but steady, twiggy/shrubby sort of grower. Bloom colour is more mid pink with blue undertones than dark pink.
