Literally the first rose I ever owned. It lasted 2 years before it met the shovel. It was short, it bloomed a lot, it faded easily, and it defoliated from BS easily. Was quite hardy.
This plant wants to be really, really big in my Atlanta area garden. I put it in a far corner, so I can see it off in the distance. It does not get black spot. It blooms nonstop. It's not for cutting, has no scent, and the roses aren't even that special..but it's like the energizer bunny..So I like it!
