6/14- currently has blackspot, though nearly everything does now. Vigorous. 8/14- horrific case of spider mites 10/14- Very blackspot prone 11/2015- size is about 3x3 right now. Color is pretty, hips are nice, but the blackspot really is a continuous problem with this one. 4/2016- size is 4 x 4 6/7/2019- I still have it. Same size, same disease issues. I don't love it, but I don't have any plans on removal. 5/8/2023- Still there and I've grown to appreciate it. This rose is a SURVIVOR! I think I'm going to clone it and add a plant elsewhere in the garden.
