The depth and richness of it's damask fragrance is unmatched. Easily better than any of the other repeat flowering old roses I grow. Here in England it doesn't throw out octopus canes and is easily manageable as a tidy shrub.

My favourite rose for colour, form and fragrance. I grow it in a pot and am considering winding it around supports like an obelisk.

How has growing it in a pot gone? Im considering getting it for my patio but I am unsure how it would perform. Thanks

It grows well in a large pot! I've stuck 2 metal pins in the pot and wind some canes around where its possible and I get blooms all along the length. It just has to stay well watered to thrive.

This rose really responds well to the old Victorian practice of pegging - something I highly recommend, having used it on several roses now. Just bending and tying the long stems into the plant itself to form a network of canes criss-crossing back and forth to make a bushy shape, has made such a difference to this old plant, transforming it from a bean pole of a few stems and few flowers, to a beautiful large bush covered in flowers. She has so many blooms on her these days, she is like a different plant. And she tolerates shade really well too.

thank you for your suggestion re winding around instead of pegging. Bought a potted GJ yesterday and was thinking of a tripod. I have a Mme Isaac Perriere that didn't flower a lot but when I put a tripod in and wound it around and voila heaps of blooms

Glad it was helpful. Pegging works well both taking the branches outwards or inwards - it just creates a different effect, and makes a different plant shape. Yes, it will have worked well using a tripod for Mme Isaac Perriere. These sort of techniques work really well for a lot of the larger Old Roses, particularly Bourbons and H.Ps.
