If this rose should be identical with 'American Beauty, Clb.' how can it be a repeat bloomer? All descriptions of AB Clb. say that it is only once blooming.

I have ofen read comments about 'American Beauty's wonderfull strong fragrance, but 'Wrams Gunnarstorp' has only got moderate fragance. I only grow WG, and it is not strongly scented. I have never seen 'American Beauty' irl, so I cannot compare, but was just wondering.

Looking good! Do You train this rose as a climber, or as a solitary shrub?

Thank you Jay! :) It is a gorgeous rose!
I would have loved it as freestanding shrub, but it reached towards the sun and ate the border in front of it, so I made a big squared espalier behind it (northside) and trained its branches backwards and vertical over the espalier, I works really well as the flowering laterals reach the opposite way towards south.
In the lower left side of the foto, you can see some of the branches, but its easier to see on the picture below, from last year. There you can see the espalier to the right from where the rose is planted.
I hope my english and explanation makes sence :)

I agree Alice,
It's really a rose with the "Wow-"effect!
Thank You for the explanation.
In fact my Erinnerung an Brod is also trained leaning backwards (under 60 degrees) and the laterals reach towards the sun too.
Your English is in my opinion perfect(-ly understandable) no worries needed about that. Danish would be harder to understand for me.
I'll take a look at Your photo's and Your blog.
Is there a greenhouse in the background of this photo?

I was looking through the pictures and found some of your Erinnerung an brod, thats a huge one you got there, it look higher than mine, and I can see that we train it very similar. Beautifull rose!
I also noticed you posted pictures about proliferation, thats quite common in this rose, but this year there was a lot more buds affected than normal. We had a warm and dry May, but I dont recall how April was. June was cold here. (I read in the comments that you and some other wrote about the subject) It was very interesting to read!
Yes, its a little greenhouse behind the rose, I even got some roses in there too ;)
I got two small greenhouses, each about 4 m2. I didnt get them at the same time, else I would have prefered one a lot bigger. I´m surprised that roses (those that dont mildew) but that get serious blackspot in the garden, is absolutely free of any spot through the whole season, just because they are never wet at the leaves! The door is open whole day so the fungus in air sure gets inside, but no spots and they grow a lot bigger in there :)
I´m quite sure you mentioned that you sometimes use a sprayproduct that is less hard on environment, that sounds really interesting! I would love to hear more about that, and the name of it.

I mix that myself, following the recipe, that the previous warden of the Rosarium of Winschoten used to spray. It's mostly household products like baking soda, bitter-salt, dish-washing detergent, sunflower-oil, sulfur, seaweed-extracts... and sometimes water-glass/sodium-silicate.
If You want to, I might send You the recipe by Personal Message.
I posted it a few years ago too, but do not remember when and/or where on HMF....
Oops, I found it: http://www.helpmefind.com/gardening/qcsFrm.php?XHR=1&qcID=84420
Good luck.
You might use Equisetum tea for mildew, or liquid manure made of that herb. It contains lots of silicium-dioxide. Or even non-skimmed milk diluted 1:10 in water to spray.
