October 12, 2021. This one would build height if of I could keep the rabbits from it. Tends to send out a single, huge basal break that just keeps going no matter how much it's pruned. Curved, largish prickles. For some reason, this rose has demanded blood sacrifice more than any other I have. Really ought to be treated as a climber, but not quite hardy enough here most seasons for that. 2015; got this by accident instead of Tradescant. Dr. Huey grafted. Delicious cool, raspberry tinged and sweet old rose fragrance. Almost hint of powder in it. Has tendency to ball/get stuck. Usually gentle compression gets it to "pop" open. Floppy moppy hanging blooms that look like peonies. Some black spot. No mildew, no rust. Z5b/Sunset 41 South Central Michigan
