I grew this rose in Texas, with the long canes wrapped around a tripod of bamboo canes. Drawing out the long canes in a horizontal fashion allowed bud unions to sprout along the entire length - similar to pegging. During one spring flush, the bush put off over five hundred blooms. Wonderful and powerful scent - great flower form with some proliferations in the early blooms. Some tendency to black spot, so an open/airy location is recommended.

This girl is worth a place in everyone's yard. I used to dislike pink roses. Mme Ernest has changed my mind.
She has some of the most lovely purple new growth. Her blooms are stunning. Her scent reminds me of a favorite old auntie. Her scent is very fragrant.
