Does anyone know if Fighting Temeraire grows upright? Or is a an arching cane bush?
Thanks-

In my garden it is not an upright plant but grows in long flexible canes.
However this might be due to the giant old oaks growing beyond the entrance to my garden, allowing sunlight only to hit my ground after 11 am.
Sorry for not being more helpful.
The blooms, however, are worth growing this rose either way.

Actually... your taking the time to share your experience with this rose is VERY helpful. That's what HelpMeFind is all about.
Imagine how much more useful HelpMeFind could be if more people did the same. Thanks again.

I thought it might be more helpful if I took some pictures :)
Now here is the rose today.
As you can see there are two Pink Paradise right next to her that grow under the same conditions strictly upright.
Also there is a Lady Emma Hamilton in the background that shows the same growing habit of long bent over canes as F.T..
I resume at least that F.T. is a lot more light seeking than others and aligns her growing habit accordingly.

Thank you, we've updated the listing to reflect your experience.
Would you say the fragrance was mild; moderate; or strong ?

I tested this today, i.e. on a cloudy, humid day: you can smell F.T. if you are two steps away from her and two blossoms are blooming. Might be a lot stronger on a larger shrub with more blooms.
I will upload a photo that shows the huge size of blooms.
