It's a massive plant and very floriferous. Ours passed 61/2 feet by its second year and is almost as wide. Moreover, it's densely foliated so it counts as one of the few hybrid teas that can really serve as an ornamental shrub.

I have one of these from Rogue Valley Roses and another from High Country Roses. The Rogue PdS resembles most of the photos here--a medium pink with violet touches and even crimson shadings at times. The High Country PdV is consistently light pink.

Someone voted that its bloom frequency was excellent and if it were identical to Black Boy one would expect as much. However in the 20+ years I've grown this rose (Vintage Gardens) it has had only one flush of bloom in the Spring, usually near the start of the rose season.

I would agree(ish). There may be a minor flush in a long season climate, I'm getting a small flush now autumn in Australia (10 month growing season) but I tend to get that kind of behaviour with a lot of once bloomers (eg r. glauca, r. spinosissima, r. hugonis, sweet briar hybrids, etc) but it's nothing impressive (ie excellent worthy)

This old picture still has the truest representation of the color out of all the MB photos currently here.
