Hi there! I'm the breeder of this rose and would like to correct the parentage. It's " living easy/ aka " fellowship" by Julia Child. The fragrance is very much like its pollen parent Julia Child. Brad

I agree Brad, only my Easlea's Golden Rambler has a dry spot, poor soil and is located under old big oaks. It's bare-legged, but on top of the outdoors cat-stay it flowers and grows abundantly. Sets hips easily, but just few seeds germinate.

I double agree. It is just breath-taking here at the moment. There is a 1m high prickly seedling underneath it that I am watching.

Please post photo's of the 1m high seedling. Over here the seedlings do not grow well. In the meantime: Enjoy the display of the mother-plant!

This is a strong growing rose that makes lots of flowers but is highly prone to black spot each season on the west coast of Canada. It might be resistant in some climates, but it defoliates here!

Most Fourth of July offspring are, from Oregon to B.C., as well as FOJ itself.

This is an outstanding garden rose. We have sold it at our local nursery for a few years and everyone comments on how resistant to disease it is. Most people in Canada do not spray their roses and this variety grows well and stays very clean in no spray gardens. IN our climate I would rate it as highest resistance to black spot and also mildew. The plant is powerful growing with each rose on long cutting stems. It has a nice fragrance as well. If all hybrid teas were this healthy, the general public wouldn't think that roses are hard to grow. It seems to flower best in cooler temperatures.

I agree this is a very healthy and vigorous bush. In my hot dry climate, I do not find it to be a fragrant rose at all. The blossoms also seem to have a faded antique tone to them. I am giving this bush to a friend who has a French Lace rose bush; I think they would compliment each other in her garden.
