An extremely underrated rose that does deserve more attention as was described on the description page. In the unmaintained garden in Columbus, it grows quite large and puts on a show of blooms that is hard to fathom by having more blooms than leaves. Very hardy, vigorous, and in Z6 Columbus, and if left by itself, can easily get to 6' tall and 10' wide and make a superb hedge rose. Definitely one to consider and I will have to catch some pictures of it in it's more mature state later and post them.

The Montreal Botanical Garden recommends this rose as resistant to blackspot, powdery mildew, and rust:

This is definately an outstanding disease resistant rose. I purchased 50+ roses this year and have had trouble with blackspot, mildew and rust on most of the other roses.[It has been unusually wet in Saskatchewan] Frontenac has had no signs of any of the diseases. This rose hasn't stopped blooming and the color is a very vivid rosy pink. Pictures of this rose do not do it justice.
