This rose looks a lot like the (sold as) Gräfin Esterhazy that is supposed to be of Geschwind.

I'm in a soggy Zone 8 (Vancouver, Canada) and from year one this rose has been vigorous beyond belief. After four years the only thing that seems to stop it from growing taller is that at 8 ft (2.4m) I just ruthlessly prune it in spring. The pictures I've included over the last couple of years show it successfully holding its own midst an equally vigorous Warsaw Nike clematis. (Note the photo showing the canes in early spring. It gives a idea how this rose branches) It is continuing to throw out aggressive basal breaks that have to be roped in, and then the apex explodes with a witches broom of small and medium branches that bear huge (weighty) trusses of blooms. Support is absolutely necessary or the canes will break off. The result is a tough-as-nails yet pretty climber that seems impossible to discourage. Deadheading is easy, just wait till a whole spray is done with and cut off way back to the original prune joint if needed. My suggestion if you want a bulletproof climber that can take abuse is to try this one but give it a lot of tough love when pruning time comes along or it will take over.
