Ralph Moore stated Out of Yesteryear should be used as a pollen parent. It creates viable pollen better than it sets viable seed.

Jimmy, if you are referring to the large flowered climber, Sombreuil, they are quite different.
Out of Yesteryear is a shrubby grower, a very large 8 x 8 bush that would require careful training by an experienced rosarian to grow as a climber. It is massively thorny. It roots if the tips of the canes touch the ground.
Sombreuil produces long, 10 or 12 foot canes that can be trained and tied to a structure. It has been in commerce for about 50 years and is an old standard in the USA.

'Out of Yesteryear' is a beautiful rose but lacks fragrance. It makes a large shrub, about 5' x 5' here in the low desert.
The rose often incorrectly distributed as Sombreuil is a very vigorous climber and uniquely fragrant. It gets about 10-12' in all directions here. Both are very prickly.

Robert, I'm suprised that OoY has no fragrance for you as it has a lovely fragrance to my nose.

Sharon, it could be climate related since the humidity here is particularly low, or it could be I can't detect this particular rose fragrance, but I get almost nothing in terms of fragrance from 'Out of Yesteryear'. I wish I did or could.

This rose grows in a sprawling(octopus type)manner. Blooms after third year and then only if it is not purned. Lovely large fragrant blooms, worth the effort.

You are correct that 'Out Of Yesteryear' does not bloom at least in it's first year. My OOY is covered with blooms in it's 2nd year. This rose is going to be a large shrub and spends the first part of its life growing a large root mass to support both the large top growth to come and the prolific bloom when it matures.

Perhaps it varies depending on location. Mine (in W. WA) was planted directly as a band last fall and it already has buds on it this spring. Seems to be growing well, too. It's planted in a promient spot so I hope it's a winner!
