Anyone have experience with this rose? Curious how aggressively it suckers, especially compared to Alain Blanchard. (I am considering taking out Alain and replacing it w Song of the Stars, since Alain Blanchard is currently really bossy to everything else around it, ha,)

Has anyone tried this one in a colder climate? I don't think I have quite enough room for it to get massive, but if it can survive some colder temps (w protection), and thus stay a bit smaller, I have a plum spot for it. That color is too fascinating not to try.

An absolute stunner - mine is in a boulevard in a city setting, and it has absolutely exploded. I remove 1/3 every year and it grows like crazy. The foliage is super healthy and the blooms stop people in their tracks.
I do nothing to winter-protect it and haven't lost a single cane to a Minnesota winter. It does sucker somewhat but nothing unmanageable.

Yeah, I've seen a little of that - sometimes I have to trim it back a bit from the sidewalk, and it seems to send new growth up along that edge of the cement. I'm always just amazed how it leafs out every year to the very tip of the canes - it has suffered no dieback whatsoever, which is just incredible.
And yes, the blooms...wow. The form is just incredible. I need to get some of my pics up here, ha.

I have an own-root plant and it's doing great. I have moved it twice, and it has cheerfully tolerated it. Now that it's been in the same place for 2+ years, it's really settling in and throwing long canes.
That distinctive shape of the flowers, almost peony-like, requires some establishment. I finally got that look from the blooms this year, after it had settled in for a couple years.

Honestly, no, but its blooms haven't really coincided with any periods of serious rainfall. We have had some cold, wet springs up here in Minneapolis, but my blooms come later in mid-June at the earliest, so by then things have been warmer and drier. If I have any news on that front this year, I'll be sure to weigh in.
The Japanese beetles do really like it, however...sigghhhhh...
