I planted mine summer of 2005 bareroot. Grew up and sideways. I love the foliage, although it's naked now (winter). Can't wait for it to creep this year, on it's second....then leap on its third.
I don't think it slept on its first year though. The longest canes reached 6' and i love how it's arching.

I haven't seen blooms yet, because I just planted a small own-root plant last spring. It came through the winter looking like it's ready to eat the fence, the Virginia Creeper and small animals. That was the general plan.

In north Florida it repeatedly blooms in flushes until the weather gets too cold. It is very large--mine is trained the length of a 25 foot wing of the house. It needs pruning at least 3 times a year--removing the "telephone poles" down to a few buds. In retrospect, I would recommend stopping growth of young bushes to encourage lower growth to avoid bareness at the bottom of the bush.

I have been growing this climber, now for over 22 yrs. and her performance as far as bloom output is so very generous! She is susceptible to a little blackspot as most Noisettes are. These climbers in my garden, zone 8a on the West Coast of Canada are close to 25-30' long...I have always recommended this particular rose for a new rose grower starting out!!!!

1879 12-20' Flowers repeatedly. Zones 6-9
Climber or Shrub
Double, 3-4" blossoms of white, flushed with pale pink tightly curled petals in the center. Intensely fragrant, and more hardy than most of the Noisettes.
A graceful large shrub to plant at the top of a gentle slope, but equally good when used as a climber.
Constantly in bloom in milder climates, and a rose to admire in any planting. A good candidate for a tree climber.
