I have 2 of these roses & after I moved them a couple of times I found a place where they are happy. They will bloom in the SHADE but it must be just the right shade. They bloom like any rose, heavily in the early summer, less heavily in late summer. Mine have weak stems & do not make good cutters. Also in the shade they are not as pink as the ones in the pictures which are probably in the sun.

Lovely old fashioned rose. I have had it two years and very pleased with the blooms. They are a light creamy pink for me, very sweet smell, but do not last very long as cut flowers. Of course, I love roses.... Very pretty and affordable.
