I've had this rose a couple of years now, and it seems like it's just starting to take hold. It was rather spindly and ugly at first, but it's starting to grow into a nice upright plant, although not very bushy. The flowers are lovely, the bees love it, and it gets a lot of hips. Some problem with powdery mildew, but seems like a rose that will continue to improve over time. A good back of the border rose.
