It will be interesting to see how this goes. It was a mix-up on the part of the nursery. I had ordered McGredy's 'Chanelle', and received 'Charisma' instead. I was quite surprised when the first bloom popped out.

Anyway, one of the reasons I chose Chanelle (apart from looks and scent) was its known resistance to blackspot. There are varying reports on Charisma's resistance to this disease, so growing it at my place will be a bit of an experiment. If it's badly susceptible to blackspot, I'll certainly find out. If it isn't, I'll find that out too.

Naturally, I'm hoping it does well. It's a nice looking rose, even if it's nothing like Chanelle. The scent is only mild in strength, but is pleasant nonetheless.

Update - June 28, 2020.

Survives well in this climate, with little care. Will get spotty and short of leaves at times, but always comes good by itself after a while.
