Canes bend to the ground with the weight of the flowers, which in my case, all balled. The roses that did open were only about 2 inches wide. This definitely behaves as a climber, not a shrub, which is what I wanted. I guess these problems are the reason why the rose is never shown as a shrub, only individual flowers.
I have the Alnwick rose growing a few feet from Claire and it is beautiful and behaving as a shrub should.

This rose has a strong myrrh and vanilla fragrance.
