Grows and blooms like a weed here in Jacksonville, FL (9b). I love this rose, especially since it has no thorns - but does have some prickles along the leaves. It need lots of space and grows so well it can be hard to keep in bounds.
Band acquired from A Reverence for Roses, 4/2016 own root.
"Special" Location near road, the front of the field, where there is a old power pole (as well as a new one). The Idea is to allow the rose to disguise the pole, and the town shouldn't bother cutting it off the disused one.
Chose this "salt tolerant" rose because they salt the roads a lot around here in winter. I usually reserve these places for Rugosas (i see them all over ocean beaches in Long Island), but this power pole was calling out...
