This is a shot of my Gertrude Jekyll rose in Louisiana on 4/23/10. I have this rose pillared on a concrete rebar teepee and it gets over 12' tall. This is definitely a climbing rose in the hot South. The fragrance is out of this world. These blooms look delicious. This is a show-stopper when grown like this. Remarkably little disease in my no spray garden - especially when compared to my other Austins Abraham Darby and Golden Celebration.
