Electron is one of our 'no problem' roses. Pink is not a favorite color with me. Electron is planted next to Chicago Peace and they are one of my favorite pairings. Only problem with Electron isn't with the rose. Leafcutter bees really like using it for building material. Sometimes almost every leaf has scallops in it. Foliage is thick and that is a lot of leaves. Growth is vigorous and pretty soon the damage isn't very noticeable. Electron gives us 30 - 50 blooms per flush and turnaround time is average, about 6 weeks. Fragrance is moderate to a little on the strong side. Blooms open slowly and last over a week. Deb uses them a lot in bouquets.

Electron gets 3 - 4 feet tall and wide here. It has excellent foliage. It is not cane hardy. It did survive a couple winters before I protected our roses. I don't mound the rascal because it gets too large if I do. New growth starts late but is very vigorous once it gets going.

Blackspot is not a problem here. Never have seen powdery mildew on it. Very good rose, if visitors ask about which pink rose they should try in our area, Electron is the rose I recommend.
