This is an outstanding garden rose. We have sold it at our local nursery for a few years and everyone comments on how resistant to disease it is. Most people in Canada do not spray their roses and this variety grows well and stays very clean in no spray gardens. IN our climate I would rate it as highest resistance to black spot and also mildew. The plant is powerful growing with each rose on long cutting stems. It has a nice fragrance as well. If all hybrid teas were this healthy, the general public wouldn't think that roses are hard to grow. It seems to flower best in cooler temperatures.
I agree this is a very healthy and vigorous bush. In my hot dry climate, I do not find it to be a fragrant rose at all. The blossoms also seem to have a faded antique tone to them. I am giving this bush to a friend who has a French Lace rose bush; I think they would compliment each other in her garden.
This rose is sold in Canada & sometimes in the USA as its German name Souvenir de Baden Baden as well as Pink Enchantment. Other sources for this rose include Palatine Roses and Roses Unlimited.
