As I haven t uploaded anything on helpmefind for years, I was surprised to get a comment on my experience with Urdh. Yes I still have this rose, and it is still one of my favourites. Last winter was quite harsh here but it doesn t seem to bother. For some reason or other it was planted very close to the German climber Manita but it doesn t seem to bother about that either. My garden has many shady places but Urdh gets a fair share of sunshine. It climbs on an arch with an inbuilt bench I made myself a number of years ago. It is exposed a bit to some of the harsh Northwest winds that affect the flowers some times but it is amazingly hardy. I say if you plan to plant Mme Isaac Pereire, don t. Choose Urdh instead - if you can get it, which I hope. It is a much better choice. About my gigantic Alberic Barbier it is long gone unfortunately. I planted another one doing everything by the book but it doesn t seem to want to grow much beyond a couple of twigs. I haven t given up the hope though.
