This rose is a huge bush in my alkaline clay. The light myrrh scent is gone in hot summer. It always blooms, but the color fades and shatters in hot sun. It's 100% healthy in my alkaline heavy clay, but others report it as blackspot prone. The prickles are sharp and many.

I have a 5 year old own root Scepter d'Isle and it is a perfect vase shape. It is also not extraordinarily prickly. It is a constant bloomer, has lots of foliage and is very vigorous. I love it. Other Austin's , like Abraham Darby and Gertrude Jekyll, are known for throwing long canes and GJ is extremely thorny-- but I think of this rose as very different to them.

The girliest rose I've ever seen (the cabbage ones I think of as more "womanly"), the petals are the prettiest shell pink and so transparent! Get this rose!

Has anyone tried pegging this rose? It has that octopus-type growth that many Austins have. Rather than prune it hard, I was considering self-pegging this rose to see if laterals would sprout.
