Ross Roses have this rose listed as being "In Collection" (in their complete web variety PDF, page 9) but with no price shown. I assume they would bud it to order if it was made worth their while, as their site says they offer custom budding for any rose not in commerce.
Still maintaining a good form, despite no pruning as such yet, and has grown to around 1.8 metres (5' 3") high and wide in the 15 months since it was planted. A very healthy beastie indeed. I'll give it a light overall trim soon. Maybe. If I get around to it.
A delightfully easy shrub to work with. I just deadheaded the entire bush while wearing rolled-up sleeves and no gloves. You can even deadhead it without secateurs if you want to, since the pedicels are easy to nip off with just your thumbnail and forefinger.
Even without deadheading it will happily continue to throw out flowers, albeit not quite so prolifically.
The same applies to its parent, 'G. Nabonnand', and to the unrelated but equally gorgeous 'Safrano'.
Cracking good shrub. Love it. Tough as nails, and already setting off to make a good tree. Lotsa leaves. No disease. Good form.
Summer blooms are, as is common with many, not as good as the autumn and winter ones. The summer ones are just nice little flowers. The cool weather ones are stunners.
Ok as a cut flower. You can get a few days out of them. It makes plenty anyway.
