Positive airline On Feb 8, 2009, airline from Falls Church, VA wrote:

This rose was grown by cutting and only took 2 years to reach a height of 10 - 12 feet without pruning. The blooms are spectacular, very fragrant, and beautiful but only last for a couple of weeks. In Virginia (zone 7), it blooms once a year in late May in a sunny site. In the winter, red pips are formed and eaten by the cardinals. It is too large for my fenced-in townhouse patio garden and has thorny stems that reach over 12 feet long. It will look better if the stems are trained to grow on an arch or trellis in a large garden.

A vigorous grower. Make sure to allow it a lot of room. This rose tend to get black spot and mildew. I've tried spraying it right before leafing and has helped fight the problems this year. I've since sprayed it again in June after the blooms ended. So far so good. I wish this rose is a repeat bloomer. The blooms are large and gorgeous and covers much of the bush.
