High country roses calls it 'A good repeat bloomer', which suggests to my interpretation more repeat than what is hinted here. Can anyone comment on that? Is the foliage actually fragrant like the references mention? I find that surprising given the fact it does not appear to have all that much eglanteria blood. Certainly less than 50% if my math is not dumb. I've heard it's a hard trait to pass on.

Repeat may be somewhat climate dependent.

It never repeated in my climate but it might repeat to some degree in others.

I can't imagine it's a good repeat bloomer in any climate.

It can produce good repeat in a percentage of offspring however.

The question is how strongly its seedlings express the genes for the foliage scent. It seems like the genetic trait has to be reintroduced through several generations in order to demonstrate itself in its descendents.

I wonder if backcrossing and clever hybridizing could create a truly continuous flowering sweetbriar.
