A few of these roses in a vase will add fragrance to the entire room, its very powerful!
Update: This rose grows like a giant! The tallest cane is approaching 6ft, even after heavy winter pruning. Luckily it grows very upright and doesn't carry the flaw of flopping canes that many older DA roses have.
Update 2: Never seen so many buds on this rose for it's first flush. Seems to respond REALLY well to winter hacking and slashing down to 1-2ft
I think this is one of those roses that would benefit from summer pruning, which I'll try next summer. What seems to happen if left unpruned is that after the first flush, a few disproportionately long, almost naked canes will shoot to the sky, and a bloom or two will eventually spawn on the end. Doesn't exactly make for a pretty shrub but one look at the flowers and I can't imagine being without it.

I wonder if you’ve tried pinning those long canes with garden staples? Looping them down and pinning them will force those canes to be covered in blooms instead of just at the tip. My Wollerton Old Hall behaves in much the same manner.

Might this be a seedling of 'Evelyn'? The photos and description of scent and growth habit all remind me of 'Evelyn'.

I was thinking the same. Or perhaps Eglantyne?

It's possible! The latest introduction from DA "Elizabeth" appears to have very similar foliage and flowers and seems to come from this breeding line too. Also thanks for the advice!

Of course! I’d be so interested to see how she responds to any pegging if you do decide to do that. After looking at your photos of her blooms I may have to try to add her to my collection next year. For some reason I had had it in my mind that she would resemble The Albrighton Rambler, and her blooms would be small and would bleach. The shading you captured in your photos is so lovely and complex with that beautiful hint of mauve.

per the US patent:
"The maternal and paternal parents of ‘AUSearnshaw’ are two unnamed seedlings. The new rose may be distinguished from its maternal parent, by the following combination of characteristics: the maternal parent is a shorter bush and has uniformly deep pink flowers compared to the soft pink, apricot-centered blooms of ‘AUSearnshaw’. The new rose may be distinguished from its pollen parent, by the following combination of characteristics: the paternal parent has a larger growth and its blooms are more cupped with fewer petals than ‘AUSearnshaw’."
according to this, Evelyn should not be a direct parent, but it could be in the lineage further back. Again, they could state whatever they want in the patent and nobody is going to check, so I guess we can not be sure that what they stated is the real lineage

This is so interesting; thank you! Recently DAR posted a photo of a rose on Twitter that they have developed specifically for breeding. It was the loveliest form and pale lavender color. I wish they would sell some of their breeding stock, because they are gorgeous in their own right!

High Country Roses lists Indigo as zone 4. I'll be planting it this fall in z5a. The reason I post the comment that High Country Roses states zone 4 is so that people who live in colder climates can decide if they want to chance it. The Advanced Search tool won't be as helpful to me and other cold rose growers if roses are in the z6-9 (default), as roses listed in the z6-9 won't show if I do a search for zone 5a. I do grow z6 roses because I winter protect with mulch and haven't lost any, must be a micro climate? I realize that growers want to sell roses so may state the rose will grow in a colder climate, so far, not a problem in my garden. Several members comment that they grow it in zone 5. I will update if it fails.

It grows well for me in zone 5, upstate NY. One caution, for me it was a slow starter, but I have it in a partly shaded area. It does fine left on its own now, but might need TLC the first year or two.

May I ask how long you've had it planted? What size it is and how frequently it blooms? Do you winter protect? Thanks!

I have had it about 8 or 9 years now. I do not winter protect Portlands, albas or rugosas. Indigo is far less prone to leaf browning, known as "Damask crud"; than many of the others of the Portland group. Size in a partly shaded location: it grows tall and narrow but I think that is because it is reaching for light. I suspect it would make a nice small to medium sized bush with more sunlight.

Thank you for sharing this information! I am also in Z5a in NE WI. How did she do this winter?

Does anyone know abouth Kords Jasmina rose cold hardiness? It's beautiful, but is it able to bear zone 5 winters?

I know it’s been many years since your query, but I wanted to let you know I have grown her successfully for several years in zone 5a.
