I've had this rose for about two years, and it's one of the most prolific rose bloomers I've ever grown. It's had problems with rust at times particularly during our rainy season this winter and occasionally during the early spring and late autumn when it gets hit with a lot of overnight dew and cool temps at the bottom of a slope in my garden, but from my experience a removal of the affected leads to copious quantities of new, healthy foliage. The incredible number of long-lasting crystal white blooms, their strong citrus fragrance, and the beautiful rounded form of this rose bush are why it'll stay. The stems are on the short side, but the roses work very well in arrangements where tall stems aren't needed. I'd guess it needs heat and good air circulation to perform best.
I have this rose in the Phoenix Az area and it does great. The blooms are a clear white and they smell great. Also this is one of the few roses that still flowers in the 110+ degree weather here. It flowers frequently for me.
