Having it for the second year in my garden, it has been giving a wonderful performance this year: very disease resistant foliage, virtually no black spot all year round, only slightly infected with powdery mildew or cercospora last autumn when it’s humid for days; very pleasing fragrance, beautiful large flowers which don’t burn too much under heat and sun, self cleaning petals, very vigorous growth (can throw long canes up to 1.7m in autumn with flowers at the end), bloom in flushes with short pause in between. Overall an excellent shrub rose.
