Is Laguna completely infertile, or why doesn’t it have any listed descendants? No hips in any of the pics, either. Quite puzzling.

Very free flowering, healthy and vigorous in southern Sweden. Stands out among many climbers.

Extremely vigorous. In the second year, it had covered an arbor here in southern Ohio and was loaded with blooms. Very double deep reddish pink flowers. Lots of deadheading! Fragrant, but I don't remember how to describe it. Growth was a bit overwhelming, but would that other climbers had this "problem." Very thorny, so pruning is not a delight.I don't remember rebloom to speak of.

Since posting this, I definitely have more reservations about Laguna. It was too hot and wet when it flowered this spring, and flowers quickly wilted. Late in the summer it energetically sends out many very thorny shoots, and it is no picnic to have to prune these. Probably too vigorous and too thorny.

The vigour of this rose is astonishing. We planted one in autumn 2010 and not in the very best soil either and in an inverted corner between two concrete walls, facing west--only late afternoon light there--and it's practically been exploding. 18 months later it's a breast-high, barrel-chested mass of glossy green foliage swallowing up the neighbouring plants. The fragrance of the flowers is overwhelming. Still, I'm not really fond of the colour or the form of the flowers (they're a fuzzy blob of pink to me), so while I admire this rose for its vitality I would probably not plant it again. (We're in zone 8a.)
