I just got this rose from Chamblees nursery a few days ago - I came out of my house this morning so far it appears to be healthy.

I just replied to your earlier post not having seen this one. I hope you are finding her to be a good plant in your area.

Could this rose grow in a large pot in part shade?

My Cramoisi Superior reached 8 foot tall and 10 foot wide. It gets very huge in the Houston, TX area. It smells divine and makes pretty cut flowers and looks good in arrangements with other antique roses. It blooms profusely almost all year long. No disease and no insect problems. Why hasn’t it been given the Earthkind designation yet? The only problem with this rose is that it gets too big!

Is this rose vigorous own root?

Yes. I find this rose quite healthy and vigorous own root. I'm frankly quite surprised by the very mediocre reviews on this site. For me, this is a real trooper -- very healthy in my no-spray Texas garden, and overall a better rose than some of my earthkind cultivars at this point. (I believe mine was an ARE purchase.) It currently ranks up there in my top half-dozen cultivars in my garden, FWIW. Mine has only been in the ground a couple years at this point, and I concede that some of the grievances pertaining to the strangely splayed architecture of the young plant are born out with mine, but this seems the case with several of my Kordes roses, and they tend to grow out of the teenage awkwardness as the plant matures.
[update]
Okay... I am going to retract my high praise of a few years ago... This bush began to falter as I stopped spoiling the more established plant. (I buy Kordes rose so that I don't *have* to coddle them!) It ultimately died during a drought, while all the (predominantly grafted) roses around survived. (Suffered, yes, but survived nonetheless.)
