This rose is one of the healthiest roses in garden, even when it was a no spray one for 9 months last year. Blackspot resistance matches Old Blush (to me, it seems even better!).
In my Southern California coastal garden this rose is a magnet for rust early in the season and gets quite a bad infestation, but it gets over it. I don't spray, I just wait. After it gets over the rust, the leaves are dark green and it blooms well, even in the mostly shade that I have it in. The blooms are just lovely, the kind one might find in a bridal bouquet - excellent form, faintly blush white with light pink, shading to a deeper pink center. Little to no scent, a pity.
