It was given a rightful place last autumn, since it was moved (as in gardens 50+ miles apart) twice. And it is taking off. I hope to give it a proper evaluation in a year! :] Well, one thing we know. It survives transplanting and unintentional overcrowding.

This one makes a great seed parent.

Its blooming right now. Honestly, even now just getting its permanent home, it looks commercial.... Slightly upright, but it looks awesome.

I'm glad you like it. The fragrance should be wonderful as well.

This rose is absolutely huge now. About 6' tall. 2-3' wide. Clusters of 3-5. Almost a grandiflora, in a way. Does well own-root.

It would be fun to see pic of the whole plant if you have time. I never had the space here to let it get large.

I'll try to remember to bring a camera to the farm.

I have a young rooted cutting. It's far better than Abraham Darby, zero blackspots, and the thorns are safer since it's hooked inward and downward, rather than pointing straight out like Abraham Darby's large thorns. It survived many 20 degrees nights. Will report on the flower next year.

I wouldn't expect this one to be particularly disease resistant. The blossoms are beautiful and the fragrance is wonderful and intense.
As you know, it takes about three seasons for an own-root rose to become established enough to start showing itself.

One of the parents seems to be Abraham Darby; matches with the fragrance and form too!
Seems to have Austin-parentage.

It does indeed, Austin and Poulsen. ;-)

Hello Robert, I wrote this, because in the description was asked this:
"If you know the parentage of this rose, or other details, please contact us."

I know the parentage. I haven't chosen to divulge it as yet.
All things in time.
In this case it really isn't hard to figure out.
