Can set OP hips. Average 1 or 2 seeds per OP hip for me though.

Recently bought, as a vigorous 1 y/o plant, with many branches and full of flowers. I had read about it before and was not about buying it... but I saw (and smelled) it at a local plant dealer (downtown Genoa, Italy), and changed idea immediately. It's definitely not a white rose, more of a faint cream with pink hints, but it's beautiful nonetheless. Flowers are a smallish perfect cup, they're not very long lived, but they're freely produced, generously, in groups. And its fragrance... for me it's really gorgeous AND powerful, lemon, alba rose (Felicite Parmentier) and a little bit of myrrh, all this beautifully mixed. While it's true that it doesn't carry far, I found it really powerful. I have it from just one week (and wind broke in half one branch two days ago), but until now it's really gorgeous.

Very floriferous, it forms a neat bushy shrub. Flowers in clusters of 3/5; its fragrance is not extremely strong, yet pleasant. It's healthy and in my garden it doesn't attract a huge number of aphids. Excellent disease resistance, it doesn't have a single leaf with blackspot or mildew. Quite shade resistant, it blooms freely in my garden with only 4 hours of direct sunlight.
It repeats quickly, with a gap between flushes that can be as short as three weeks in my gardens. It doesn't require to be deadheaded since the petals drop off cleanly and new flowers are produced anyway
