This rose has grown into a strong, sturdy specimen that climbs a metal arbor by my deck. Although it is thorny, this has not presented a problem. It blooms profusely throughout the year and is not bothered by disease. The blooms are at their most attractive when in bud stage and just opened, then they fade to a yellow and the red tones wash out, but there are so many blooms in different stages that the whole effect is lovely. Stems and branches are very thick and strong. I really like this rose and highly recommend it.
