I love the beautiful and frilly salmon pink flowers. The plant is very vigorous and in my Pacific NW garden, it throws long canes like a climber. I have not observed any blackspot, mildew or any other problem that plague roses on the plant in the 4 year I have grown it. The only problem is that this year most of the canes come out almost flat against the ground instead of upright. I'm not sure if this is due to more shade from a nearby shrub this year. I plan to move it to a more sunny location to see if that takes care of it.

This rose is an excellent (although very thorny!!) grower in my cooler climate, with most beautiful flowers. It's very tough, withstanding prolonged dry spells (I'm on tank water) and easily shrugging off disease. I'd recommend this variety in spite of its breeder considering it to be superseded. I suspect this has more to do with PBR and commerce than the inferiority of the rose. Worth seeking out.
