My plant had extensive powdery mildew, which is rare in my garden in this dry climate. My (own-root) plant will be in its fourth year this next summer, and last year was the first I saw it bloom. While the few roses I saw were really nice, last year for the first time this plant gave me canes that were long and spindly, bending almost to the ground very much like a sucker or climber.

Like most other striped roses, Papageno has varying amounts/patterns of white and red, which adds to the interest for me.
