Has anyone tried this as a cut flower? How long do the blooms last?

I am posting my comment on the rose page for 'Portlandia' rather than under the comments for the photo, so that it is easier for someone to find. From my personal rose-growing experience, I have found that many roses that were hybridized and tested in the more coastal areas of California and Oregon, don't do very well in our summer temps in Nocal where we have the valley influense impacting our summer heat. Of course, as soon as I write this, someone will know of a rose that proves me wrong !
