The scent of this rose is wonderful ! I have it on a trellis as it grows somewhat like a arching shrub. The scent fills my garden in the spring. Sadly it only blooms once a year .

I believe this one, which I have had in a border for twenty years, came from Roses of Yesterday and Today. It is fairly upright in habit and hardy here, which is zone 6a. There have been occasional bouts of black spot, but it always made sturdy new canes. Grown in association with various blue flowers (originally used similarly upright delphiniums), it strikes that patriotic theme close to the Fourth of July. Has been known to repeat bloom in September, maybe on spring or summer pruned wood. I'll watch closely this season and report back. Nice classic rose fragrance. It's been one of the stalwarts in my garden, along with Constance Spry (David Austin), Queen of Denmark (alba), Charles de Mills (Gallica - but careful, invasive as all get out), Salet (moss) and Penelope (hybrid moss). These are the ones that have kept on chugging along, not exactly fussed over, for two decades. Although the Variegata has somewhat less than beautiful canes and so-so leaves, the vigor is remarkable and people walking by on the sidewalk when it is blooming seem to enjoy it and want one too.
