May 12th '19... this rose has just started to bloom in my garden.. in its 5th season... I find the description ''continuous bloom'' to be quite optimistic [read outrageous]… I mean, I wish... for me it flowers for about 3 weeks in May.. one year I got a single flower in July - I was so excited -... so my experience, which may be my climate or age of the rose - do I have to wait 10 years?.. suggests it's more like a once bloomer with occasional later bloom..

Just so anyone researching knows what I get here... hope it's different for you.. and for me too eventually, because the fragrance is outstanding... and that's why I keep it.. my plant is own root.. and grows like what I think of as a Hybrid Perpetual [without much perpetual]...
