This winter, this was the only large flowered rose, that withstood the low temps with flying colours.
No freezing back at all or canker! I didn't expect that, regarding my other comment at this rose.

Jay-Jay, do you still have English Miss? Has she survived this long since you last posted over 10 years ago? I'm thinking of adding her to my rose bed and would appreciate knowing how this rose has done for you.

This rose grew in the wrong direction, got smaller and smaller, and flowered less and less. Got diseases and this year it died.
It was grafted on laxa. Those roses do not last long over here.
I will not replace it. There are better performing roses in my opinion.
PS: it never got bigger in my garden than 40-45cm and that was in its first years. Never reached the described 75cm.
I would strongly recommend Prince Jardinier.

How disappointing. She's a pretty rose and I love fragrant ones. Thank you for your reply and best of luck with your present roses.
I think I'll stick with some old garden roses instead next spring. M. Hardy and Queen of Denmark. Can't go wrong there.

If You want a fragrant-one, Prince Jardinier (Pretty Perfumella/Pretty Woman and all the other names for this rose) will seal the deal!

Thanks Jay Jay, but, I think I will stick with the two old garden roses I mentioned. They are much less fussy and very fragrant. I have 8 hybrid teas in the front of my house and M. Plantier and Felicia in the back. That's where I'm putting the two old garden roses. That may be enough roses for me, but, I will keep your suggestion in mind if I decide I need another.

In spring (this and last year), this rose shows some chlorosis! Later in the growing season, the leaves are of a nice deep green.

Can't recall, so it obviously didn't impress me that much.

Good bloom and fragrant, but the plant lacked the vigor required.

Indeed vigor misses, but it still is a survivor.

The only rating for this rose is mine. Updated it. I seemed to rate the scent as good.
It started its growth promising, and survived several winters, but doesn't impress as a whole.

Time is passing English Miss by as there are far better roses available now. In the pale pink range Seduction (Charles Aznavour) comes immediately to mind as a better rose in almost every aspect except fragrance. Bold Seduction if one is seeking a deeper pink shading.

Now a few months after the frost-period it has formed a very nice compact bush, showing the first buds.
Leaves are brilliant dark-green, shining.
A big difference from the first years after planting! (see my previous comment)
Maybe this is a rose, that needs some growing-seasons to settle.
Together with Honoré de Balzac, it makes the best performing couple in my rose-bed for large-flowered roses.
