Love, love, love her! In my NCz7b climate, she's a winner. The first year or so she had small blooms that were just cute, but she really comes into her own with age. It's funny to see bloom size change so much.
She's vigorous, spreading, and the blooms are just lovely. She is what the great pictures of Austins try to capture.
She's not continuously blooming, and until she gets mature she may have spurts of growth instead of repeat. Mine's 3 or 4 years old and wonderful now :) She only gets Blackspot very rarely in my no-spray garden. It goes away quickly, so I never worry about her.

Hello I'm in zone 7 Maryland. Can you tell me how large your Cinderella is and if it is own root or grafted? Thanks

Im in zone 7b in Maryland. I have Cinderella fairytale in a large pot. I have had it for 3 years. I got it from Palantine roses so it is grafted. It is about 4 feet tall (above the pot). I haven't planted it in the ground yet due to voles.
I have sprayed it with neem oil (I have been inconsistent with this), but I think I will stop spraying it with neem oil. The neem oil gets rid of the aphids in the spring, but in the summer this rose gets thrips. The thrips really affected a large flush of blooms this summer. I read that spraying for aphids in the spring means that beneficial insects who eat aphids will not come to the plant and those same insects eat the thrips later in the summer, or something along those lines. I am also going to plant more native perennials in order to attract said beneficial bugs.
This rose bush is very healthy. It has formed a very attractive shape. It's sturdy and holds the flowers upright. Also, the flowers last a long time. The flowers are beautiful. It has a large flush in spring and several smaller flushes afterwards. It looks very nice both close up and far away. Right now half of the bush is getting more shade, and that side blooms about half as much as the side in the sun. Consequently, I am going to move it completely into the sun. It has periods of times between flushes with no flowers on the bush.
I fertilize it with a diluted liquid fertilizer- either neptune's harvest, fox farm, or compost tea - at least 2 times a week. I water it every day during summer because it is in a pot. After a rainy period some of the leaves look yellowish, but I think this is because the rain washes the nutrients out of the pot. I never let water get on the leaves when watering it.
This rose has never had an outbreak of blackspot or any other disease. The main problem I have is with the sawfly larvae. I pick them off by hand every so often and that seems to keep it under control.
The fragrance of this rose is like a green apple. It's not a strong fragrance and not a distinguishing feature of this rose.
I think this rose would definitely prefer to be in the ground because it keeps sending roots out of the pot into the ground. I've read about planting a rose in a large growers pot with several holes in the bottom, and keeping the top of the pot a few inches above ground in order to keep the voles out. I think I may try that next spring.
6/24/2021- This rose continues to not succumb to blackspot or any other disease. However, I still have not been able to put it into the ground, and I think it is suffering in the pot because it is not very vigorous at all and is very slow to repeat this year.

Mine is own root from Angel gardens. I've had it for probably 10 years. Given a good location, this rose can get 6' wide in the Southeastern United States. The bush is so graceful. It truly looks like a fairy tale.
At first I was wondering why it didn't have the globular blooms in others' photos. It takes time. She likes afternoon sun in Atlanta.
Don't plant her next to a sidewalk like I did. Bad idea. She's now huge and I don't think I'm going to move her. It would probably be easier to move the sidewalk.

I'm surprised at Jasmina. I wanted her for years. I have one, a sturdy own root, and she's only been in my garden one long season (fall planted the year before).
But her foliage is not as clean as I'd expect from a modern Kordes rose. She gets a lot of Blackspot so far. Her vigor has not been great, either. I have her in a hot site with fairly difficult soil that can dry out, so maybe she just needs more pampering. Maybe she just needs to grow up?
I'm not rating her yet, but I just wanted to give a possible heads up to folks. She may not be a terribly easy rose like some are. Most Kordes are so simple here!

I think your clues are "hot site", "difficult soil" and the fact many climbers require three years (or longer) to come into their own. Before you're going to get growth and flowers, they require roots under them. Hot, dry, difficult soil issue inhibit root formation. Few roots means few nutrients which can lead to malnourished plants. Under nourished and water stressed plants routinely suffer disease issues. It can be extreme enough to force otherwise bullet proof roses to become infected. I'd suggest doing whatever you can to alleviate the heat, dry and "bad soil" issues the rose is experiencing and then give it three years (at least, perhaps longer if the difficulties it experiences can't be fixed) to perform as expected.

Grows vigorously here, and it requires a lot of pruning. Balls badly and clusters are so heavy they droop. In perfect weather (not humid, not too hot, not damp), it is a spectacle.

A similar color to Parade, but a bit more red and not ever hot pink here in NC. It's more like a bright deep rose than red, so I can fit it in better with all the various pinks I love. Blooms themselves last a very long time on the bush and stay fresh. I like her a lot (the not-quite-red color is unusual and very useful in my garden). Mine is completely hardy in z7, when I do have hardiness issues in very bad winters on several roses. Gets some blackspot here at times but can shrug it off, so I don't spray her.

This rose doesn't get out of bounds at all, blooms so much, and it even sets tiny bright red hips that my wildlife loves. The hips are small, so you'd only notice them if close, but it would be a great rose to site close-up because of its cheery color, etc. It's extremely healthy with no help, here. I have mine in shade (viewed far away), because I needed color there. It's perfect for that, too! It's magenta-red for me, a nice, bright color. "Happy' is a truer red here, but this rose is much healthier.
