I was very pleased with the vigorous growth of this little rose in its' first year in my garden. The habit has stayed very compact and even--not straggly as some get. The exhibition type blooms have been of good size and in proportion to the foliage so it stays in balance. No sign of any disease or insect activity this year. For a first year bush that is very encouraging. I ordered two more from Hortico this year for a special planting bed in Spring 2007.
