This shrub is a workhorse in my zone 7b garden with alkaline clay soil. It resembles Ballerina, but is smaller, puts out more flowers, and flowers more often. It's exceptionally healthy, as well. I don't think I've ever seen blackspot or any sort of disease on this rose. It's winter hardy, pollinators love it, and it's just a great easy-care rose to have in the front of the flower bed.
