I grew it for about 7 years and it was...fine. Kind of uneventful and not a long bloom period. It got to be about 4.5'X3' in my zone 5b/6a climate and was mostly cane hardy (not an issue for you, I realize). I didn't get much repeat if any, and I didn't find it fragrant, but don't trust my nose. The nearby Sydonie smelled heavenly, but Soupert et Notting didn't trip any scent reactions in me.

I got mine from Rogue Valley and I still see it off and on from their lists. It was disease resistant at least to blackspot and an undemanding rose, but it wasn't very interesting. It's one I don't plan to replace.

Thank you so much, Cynthia. Mine is from Rogue Valley, too, and I'm having the same experience with the fragrance. It's new for me, got it last year, I think. This spring has been cooler, wetter than usual, and the few buds it had balled. But even the moss has little to no fragrance. It's trying, though, so I'm going to give it more time, but I'm moving it to a sunnier spot. Maybe that will help.
