This grows on own root very well on bad ground, in the shade and at dry places; even under trees and even in situations where all those bad habitats are merged!
It flourishes and suckers. It might even overgrow the garden, so watch out where You plant this rose.
This year it's covered with flowerbuds and is lush green. It gained height, because of the rain we've got so far. I'll upload some photo's soon.

This is the only rose in our garden that is not infested and defoliated by the caterpillars of the "Mottled Umber" and the "Winter Moth". In Latin they are called "Erannis defoliaria" and "Operophtera brumata".

This has been a terrific rose for me in Zone 5. It sets beautiful hips, great fall color, nice single flowers with great fragrance. It bloomed for over 8 weeks before stopping. Something I have not seen mentioned anywhere--the canes are a brilliant red in winter, very much like the redtwig dogwood I also have. Don't know if this is typical for this rose, but thought I'd mention it.

Dear Anonymous,

Thank you for posting your observations of this rose. I have found that I love seeing the different colored canes of roses in the garden in winter. It's almost like viewing garden art.

Smiles,

Lyn
