My parents grew this in their yard in the early 1960's (southwest of Philadelphia). After its first flush of bloom it was highly susceptible to blackspot. I won't ever grow it.

This rose puts on a great spring flush, but it is easily the most disease prone rose in my garden. I wouldn't recommend this rose simply because of that. If there is blackspot in amongst my roses, it's going to be on this rose.

I had four that I dug up because of their great tendancy to become diseased. I was also disappointed in it lack of bloom after the first flush and did not really see a big improvement over the old blaze.

This is the first rose I ever grew . In the hard red clay of Staten Island zone 6b it grows well with no problems and is in continuous bloom with no blackspot , no mildew . It climbs well and will cover a backard eyesore in little time. I have grown it as a rank beginner with no fertilizer, no winter cover , awful pruning and admittedly bad watering habits (lawn sprinkler every other evening) . It has no scent that I can detect . The flower is a blazing red, a "flat color" with little variation/interest . I have recommended it to people who say they "have no luck with roses " but really wish to grow them -- later they call me to say how happy they are. Sorry it is not the same under your conditions . I know location /rootstock etc can vary the outcome so much . Diana

Climbing roses require very little pruning. I dead head mine and remove dead/damaged wood in the Spring. Hope this is what you were looking for.
Good luck
