Bought one plant of Young Lycidas on own roots, a smallish one year old cutting, at Italian nursery Nino Sanremo, which grows own roots roses with a rather vast catalogue.
It's small, and still has thin branches and small foliage, but it's quite thickly ramified. The foliage looked different from pictures here, and I was wondering if it was mislabeled.
It didn't give any flower at the time of the first bloom, because of those thin branches, but now it's getting stronger and putting out some larger foliage, more true to the photos I see here... and finally some flower buds too, which grow very quickly, but slow down a lot when the colour starts showing. The first one is about to open just now, it's making me wait, I thought it was already opening two days ago ahahah. So curious to see it (hoping it's not mislabeled! the colour of the bud looks right), and to smell that fragrance too.

Update: The label was right, my plant is actually Young Lycidas. Now it's definitely getting stronger, sprouting basal growth even if still not very thick... and I've not even given it a larger container yet (I'm about to do it), I just fed itn generously and helped with mycorrhizal supplement.
I like its flowers a lot, their color reminding me some sort of half-way between an ancient Gallica and Mme Isaac Pereire. Beautiful, and strongly fragrant as well. The smell is really delicious, even if another Austin I purchased, Gabriel Oak, is even better to my nose. Y.L. has some slightly bitter tea undertones that I don't find particularly appealing (they tend to emerge in the evening, when scent fades away a little bit), but in the end the mix is still really good.

Having grown this rose for only 11 months now, I am very pleased with it. It has beautiful growth habit, lots of foliage (the description says "medium green" but to my eye it's darker, with bronze new growth and stems that stay a mahogany color - most attractive) and bushy habit. It does send out some longer shoots, but where I have it planted it is not an "octopus". Its flowers are very fragrant and produced with regularity. After the experience of these past 11 months - I liked Young Lycidas so much that I ordered more bare root plants to put in this season as well. A very nice rose.

I planted about 40 Austin and 50 Kordes roses this years in a fairly small space - only received some of these in Mid May (those ordered from Austin's in Texas - they only ship once a year to Canada - normally I would plant in Nov-Jan here on the west coast) so May was very late. So, the plants are quite small still, but I have chosen most of my roses for fragrance, and these come out at the top. The colour is one of my favourites, the blooms are a good size although not huge, very attractive, and the fragrance is really strong. A lot of roses have a fragrance that people say "oh, nice" - but this one is in another category where most people say "oh, wow!". That is what I am looking for. Too early to judge bush size, but they were very attractive bushes when I saw them last summer at Austin's in England. A keeper!
