One year review:
This has been a good rose here so far. I was a bit sad to see the 1888 reference call it "worthless". Perhaps they say that because the foliage is barely rugose?
It handles the heat very well for a rugosa. No disease here. Fragrance is very good. It bloomed in three good flushes last year. Vigor is good, and it doesn't mind a good hard prune, so looks like it can be kept a manageable size. Hasn't set any hips here.

This just looks like a selection of Rosa carolina to me. I'm dubious of the claim that it is really a rugosa hybrid.

Bierkreek sells this rose as a virginiana hybrid, so perhaps it is a hybrid between virginiana and rugosa.
More pictures are on their website.

Or plausibly 2nd gen. Therese Bugnet.

I added Akira Ogawa to my garden few months ago, grafted on Laxa rootstock. Although it's still way too early to write a proper review, the growth has been vigorous and the foliage seems very healthy so far.
The blooms are truly enchanting, I don't think the pictures accurately translate just how clear and luminous the color is, with butterfly-like charm.The fragrance is very mild.

It's rare that I get rid of a rose after just one year, but this one is going to have to go.
Supposedly teas are good in warm climates, and in my limited experience this has been true for other teas here, but not Regulus.
Poor vigor, weak, twiggy growth, meh fragrance, but worst of all is the blooms. They open and fry within just a few hours in the sun, and then the fried petals cling on forever if not deadheaded. So the shrub is either an eyesore, or flowerless.

I'm still observing mine, but i have to agree so far... i have both Regulus and Paul Nabonnand, almost next to each other in big pots. Both look very similar, the growth is unpleasant, twiggy so far, and the flowers don't last long at all. I'd say in the autumn is 2 days maximum - in the summer till 2pm :D (next to them Mmselle Franziska Krüger holds flowers nicely for 4-6 days in 30-35 Celsius...)
AND the leaves... they look very unattractive, rather ugly texture with leaflets dropping off every single day, getting the bushes always half naked. Very strange, don't normally see roses like this.
