Does anyone grow this is Zone 6a?

Also, how thorny?

Thank you!

Do any European nurseries carry this rose, or other Paul Barden ones? If so, please let me know!

I am always interested in the roses that Paul Barden bred. It is so vigorous and carefree with a flexible cane so I train it the way I want to. The petals are almost quilted because it rolled back so much. The fragrance is very tea-like and sweet and a hint of fruit as an undernote. They are born on the end of a stem and in big clusters. The color is a delicious fluffy pink that reminds me of a strawberry milkshake just a little deeper than Cecile Brunner. I will definitely rank Mels much higher than Cecile. There's no trace of mildew or disease and the plant is grounded in semi-shade most of the time of the yr and total shade in the winter. Mel's a real winner in my book.

Wow, this rose grows fast, at least the one I have in the sun, growing up a south facing fence. Own root.
EDIT: My favorite rose hands down. Just Beautiful and vigorous. Easy, flexible lax canes are forgiving and easy to tie up. A big thanks to Paul Barden for breeding such a wonderful "old garden" climber
EDIT2: Just Wow! Thinking of training it up onto my house roof. That would be an amazing sight.
