2011 has been the worst disease year I have seen in a very long time. Pink Gate continues to be completely spotless here! Great rose!

In my Los Angeles weather, Pink Gate resembles the color, petal substance and fragrance of Mlle. Cecile Brunner. The foliage is the same bullet proof material and the plant is as vigorous, ever blooming, disease free and shade tolerant as the Mlle. is. It is also totally thornless for me. I feel this rose is excellent for landscape use anywhere you want a trouble free, full sun to shade tolerant, fragrant blooming shrub to climber which does not BITE!

I'm sorry, I don't. The plant is cut back as it had to be moved. I'll work on it as it re establishes itself.

"Pink Gate" was found, named and released by Alice Hinton and Anthony Hinton of The Rose Ranch, then in Salinas, CA It is a dwarf shrub similar in habit to the original 'Cecile Brunner'. It has fewer petals than the original. To my eye it is not the same color. "Pink Gate" is a flatter, less warm pink, having less yellowish tones. "Pink Gate" seemes sufficiently different from 'Cecile Brunner' that I have thought it was a seedling. The Ashdown offering sounds like it may be a new sport.
