Grows beautifully here in North Texas. I don't have any pest or diease problems aside from sporadic outbreaks, and the scent is classic rose. Very distinct medium to light green foliage. Arching.

David Austin's rose Evelyn is the "signature" rose for the retail store Crabtree & Evelyn. It's scent is that of a true rose.
I have had great sucess growing "her" here in Southeastern Michigan. She gets about 4-5 feet hight and same in width. With minor black spot problems, she is well worth the time!
