This rose bloomed very well in its first year, I liked the fragrance especially. The only problem I remember is that when the flowers started to fade, they looked terrible and attracted insects (I can't remember what they were, I think ants), which didn't happen with any of my other roses. It's come back wonderfully after a harsh winter and there are some nice big buds on it.
