I planted this rose in last year`s spring. The flowers are of the beautiful dark red to blood red colour I favour. They even have a light scent which is a rare quality in a dark red climber. Unfortunately the growth has so far not been a vigorous one. The plant had been cut drastically back when I got it which left me a bit uncertain as to what would become of it. However it started out pretty good under the circumstances. Unfortunately last year`s growth withered down and it didn`t start afresh until around midsummer, and then only slowly. The first flowers started to appear in late August/early September. I am still keeping my hopes high though as I like the rose very much inspite of the shortcomings so far. This rose is listed as bred in the Netherlands, and the Norwegian climate might be a reason, although the climate here at Lista is not all too different from the one in the Netherlands. Perhaps with the winters a bit more on the chillier side. I guess I will have to do my best and wait and see.
