Today, 4 years later after my last comment, I'll have to reconsider that-one: After quite a few years of struggling for life, it seems to feel well at its (re-)location and flowers... even better: it thrives! But several times, I thought/feared it wouldn't survive, for it grew smaller instead of bigger.
I'll pruneshovel this "not fit for the Dutch climate' rose; it balls very badly and almost no roseflower opens. It doesn't stand up to the promises made by the seller. I think this-one needs a dry sunny climate. There are better (Austin-)roses for The Netherlands!!! I have to admit the plant is very healthy and has no Blackspot or Mildew on the leaves! But that's the one and only positive thing I can say. (Or it would be that the flowers might have a fine fragrance, when they would be able to open)
