Can someone who has grown both roses compare this rose to Munstead Wood please? Just wondering if I really 'need' both!

2000 was a weak grower for me. Munstead was not.

Hi Robert, thanks so much, that is interesting. Munstead Wood does have healthy thick stems for me.

Health and vigor depend on many variables, like climate, choice of rootstock, and or growing own-root.

2000 was a better grower than Austin's original, 'William Shakespeare', but marketed over twenty years ago.

Austin is constantly working to improve introductions.

In my hot humid climate Munstead Wood looks better, also Falstaff. William S.2000 suffers from blackspot every summer. I would say the description of very disease resistant is incorrect as the rose is very susceptible to black spot

My planting took a few years to take off but it has become a substantial shrub after 3 seasons. Our summers in NC are hot and humid so blackspot is sometimes an issue. WS 2000 just shrugs it off. With prevention, I've noticed a major decrease in any fungal issues. The listing describes a 4ft growth habit but mine has put out an 8ft cane that I cut back to 6ft with good results. Several new canes have shot up off the roots this spring. The fragrance on this guy is powerful and rich.

I know it's been a while since this post, but I'm in NC as well and wanted to purchase this rose. Does it still regularly put out the long octopus canes for you? I have a spot where that might be useful in my garden.

I have an own root WS2000. The flowers on one stem are pink, unlike the others.

The grandmother, ‘Mary Rose’ went on to produce six sports. It looks like she is still exerting her influence. .

Thank you for the info.
So this is like it took the color from the grandmother (Mary Rose) and the number of petals from the mother (Dark Lady) :-)
Will this affect the plant? Can I propagate it?

20 years it the patent, you can propagate it, but you need to use AUSromeo as the name is trademarked or copywritten on the red one, I guess you could name the sport Bill Shakes 21...haha Does it still have the same scent?
