THIS ROSE DOES AMAZING IN THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST,  AND UNDER TREE'S AS WELL.  I HAVE 3, ONE UNDER A LILAC , ONE UNDER A MAPLE AND ONE IN FULL SUN.  ALL 3 ARE EQUALLY HUGE.  MY ONE UNDER THE LILAC IS 7 YEARS OLD NOW AND CLIMBS ABOUT 14 FEET INTO THE TREE, THIS ROSE COULD BE CLASSIFED AS A SHRUB OR A CLIMBER, CAUSE ITS GROWTH IS SO PROLIFIC, AND THE BLOOMS ARE SO AMAZING,  AND THEY COME IN CLUSTERS THAT CAN NOT BE NUMBERED. ALAS, NO FRAGRANCE.  BUT THE FOLAIGE AND THE BLOOMS MAKE UP FOR IT.   A GREAT DISEASE FREE ROSE.  OH, RAIN DOES CAUSE SPOTTING ON THE FLOWERS THOUGH.
