* Height needs updating. In Tasmania, Australia, a grafted plant of mine has reached 2m tall and 4m wide unpruned in its 4th spring.

* Excellent seed parent. Flowers easy to prep. Seeds set well and germinate freely. Seeds are large and easy to handle. Not much good as a pollen parent.

* Cuttings strike easily and own-root growth is as good as grafted growth.

* Without doubt the best of all the modern roses I've kept if you can overlook the flowers tending to brown on the edge of their petals; an opportunity for breeders to fix.

This is today. All one plant. Looks to have wich. breeding and given the seed parent is a climber, you can clearly see where it gets its habit from. I am sure that if I were to prune it hard, deadhead it, and give it a summer trim, that I could bully it into a more compact shape, but prefer it au naturel.

Gets a tiny amount of mildew in Autumn here (Tasmania, Australia). Otherwise very healthy. Doesn't set hips (yet), and I've been unable to find any pollen.

EDIT 7th. Jan. 2013: Tonight I tried to collect pollen again and this time I got LOADS.

EDIT 9th. September, 2015. Sets a reasonable amount of OP hips once mature. Gets large.

Also available at Palatine roses. This rose has been extremely healthy, disease resistant, and hardy for me. A good re-bloomer too.

Thank you for your recommendation Karen. I bought 6 bare root plants last Winter and they are doing wonderfully.. healthy, bushy and vigorous and no black spot. They have bloomed all through Spring and Summer so far. They are such easy care plants. They have just had a mid-summer prune because they threw out some long spreading canes and they are covered in buds again. My favourites.
