I think most agree that Jefferson Rose, the found rose, is actually Softee, the Ralph Moore miniature shrub that tends to climb or cascade. Mine is trained as a climber but not real aggressive maybe 5 feet tall by 3 feet wide in its third year.
No fragrance that I can tell and it is virtually bulletproof.
Hope this helps.

Here is a link that might be useful: Softee (aka Jefferson Rose)

It's a CLIMBER???? Well, duh! I guess I'll be sitting mine on an upside down pot. Rats.
Mine's only a few weeks in a 12" wide pot and looking good - loaded with buds. (Strawflower is behind it.)

Well, maybe it'll be OK.

I have Jefferson Rose from Chamblees and Softee from Sequoia ... both still in pots, the poor little things. I look forward to seeing if they are, indeed, the same rose. It's still too early to tell.

Can't offer anything on habit just yet, sorry.

Dear all,

Thank you very much for your kind comments. I also missed "Softee" remarks on HMF, and I found many more information about Softee. Don't we all love Paul's website by the way?
Miniature Rose Forum had some topics including Softee, and it sure seems like it will be a good blooming machine rose. I am looking forward to planting this little one.

Rosy Regards,

I have 2 plants of "Softee" that are a few years old (planted in the ground). Great little shrubby bushes, healthy (no spray) and bloom like crazy. One of my better minis.
