Huge! Our specimen is trained as a climber, basically swallowing the carport. Took two seasons to establish, then took off and now it's out of control :D This one does not typically produce proliferating flowers. Super-healthy. We keep a collection of old roses, two of which have never had one single spot: Ispahan, and Erinnerung an Brod. The colors are totally unique and just unbelievable. One single bloom may have brilliant red around the green eye, then the main body in deep purple, and the outer petals show a mystical, grey-ish mauve. Just WOW. This season 2024, the first bud opened on May 12. Today on June 7, in spite of the endless rain we've had, it's still going strong. Has a lot of buds in the pipeline. If you have room for one very strong climber, I totally recommend this rose.

As I consider places to plant my potted 'Erinnerung an Brod', I'm wondering just how shade-tolerant it is... Does anybody have experience growing this rose on the north side of a house?

A lot of the flowers have proliferated this year but the scent is still very, very good.
