I unfortunately had to get rid of this one. It's a very nice rose, but absolutely hated the heat. The leaves were left blackened, as if charbroiled, two summers in a row.
I was very sad to part with it. The blooms are beautiful and have great fragrance, and petal thickness is quite nice for a rugosa. It bloomed mainly in spring and then again in the fall but less.
The leaves on this rose are very large. A lot more than other rugosas.
