Unusual, delicious fragrance. Never seen a rose color like this before, I like it. Appears to grow and bloom well in heat @ Descanso Gardens in La Canada/Flintridge. Makes a large plant.

My BB is in his 4th season. Last year his first flush was very good, but his repeat was a bit slow and sporadic. He is gloriously colored, vigorous, and healthy. The flowers last long on the shrub. Great sweet fruity fragrance, but soft with little citrus to it. This year I tried pegging the longer canes to stakes placed around the perimeter. The result has been spectacular! I would estimate around 150 buds for the first flush, which appears to be about half-way on. I am eager to see what the repeat will be like in the pegging situation, and I am a bit unsure of how I will summer prune the pegged canes. If anyone has experience with pruning a pegged rose after the first flush, I would appreciate any suggestions.

exceptionally vigorous in my PNW garden but I disliked the colour. I would try it again if I knew how to bring out the orange. Mine was cool coloured.
