Northland NZ (10b?). Old rootstock found suckering widely under blanket of weeds when we moved in 3 years ago; since transplanted pieces around and they’ve taken off! Must have had easily a hundred or more flowers on this 2-year old plant, which is now almost 1.5m tall and easily 1.8m across (very long whippy canes, which drag themselves horizontal and flower along the length). Has the magenta-fading-mauve flowers of Anaïs Segalas(AU) but the size/habit of De la Grifferaie, so am posting there as well.

Northland NZ (10b?). As last photo. Can see the shades of mauve lilac and reflexed shape of aging flowers; also the branches arching almost flat under their own weight
