i have been growing R&R for 2 seasons, this is a rose that is slow to start, it has remained small over the summer months, but has started to fill out, FINALLY!!! It is such an amazingly beautiful rose, (Iam a lover of the stripes) I noticed a medium rose scent, its the first time it started scenting,very good with disease resistance. The summer doesnot slow its blooming, the winter was not as harsh as normal last year (zone 6)but it did fine, i had no dieback, it will update on the survival of this winter. In short an excellent addition to any garden, a real show stopper.

Someone in HMF mentioned that Rock & Roll is better than Neil Diamond, and I agree, after having Neil Diamond as 2nd-year-own-root. My neighbor's GRAFTED Rock & Roll is 100% healthy, never see blackspots on that one for years, despite planted next to a tree !! My OWN-ROOT Neil Diamond is prone to blackspot .. I had to move it to full-sun & dry & alkaline clay, before blackspot is reduced. Rock & Roll is consistently fragrant, versus unstable scent on my Neil Diamond (sometimes strong, other times gone).

Great information to know. I'm in a blackspot prone area at the Gulf Coast, and have been wanting a red and white stripe. Much obliged for the report.
