I've had L.D. Braitwaite in a small rose border for a few years. Not a bad rose. In comparison to it's parent Mary Rose it isn't as vigorous or as hardy. The canes die back to the winter mulch in my garden. Mary Rose is also much more fragrant. If Braithwaite is better in any way it holds it's blooms more upright.

We have had a very severe winter with several below zero days in northern Colorado and a major blizzard in December which left this area buried in snow for several weeks. My two L. D. Braithwaite rose bushes were left unprotected during this time. A few days ago, I went to examine the roses in my yard, I found that both these plants not only survived but are very green with budding on the canes where new leaves will soon emerge as it gets warmer this spring. I was thouroughly impressed! Cripplecreek of Colorado

Tends to have a purple-magenta caste, not a true red.
