I'd buy this rose just for the name, but the flower is gorgeous! However, I think you can grow anything! : ))

When I grew this one, the flowers had about a third the number of petals as yours, very faint fragrance, and it was very black spotty (when black spot doesn't really exist in this climate). Like almost all the roses I've removed, I sometimes wonder what would have happened if I had kept it a few more years. Especially when I see them looking as good as yours!

I have one from Roses Unlimited, and it is a slow growing rose for me as well.. Hope to see her in full glory next spring .. your garden is beautiful. : )

Yes he does blackspot, but does not completely defoiliate.
