This rose has it all: Strong fragrance, lovely non-fading color, plentiful, full, old fashioned blooms that are sun and rain tolerant and held erect on sturdy stems; abundant and attractive foliage, even growth, and has been impervious to blackspot (without spray) during hot and wet summer. Now we wait to see how hardy it will be. First year plant grafted on multiflora grown in z 5b NH in acidic loamy soil.
