Great rose, flowering in flushes. Healthy plant growth, manageable, and obviously we can enjoy the fragrance here. Not much to complain about!! I believe mine is in its third year, so finally established. I haven’t noticed hips, but I’m typically good about disbudding. Will leave some for hips next season!

Wonderful and healthy. 2-3 ft tall in my garden. Long bloom period and quite prolific for a once blooming rose. The foliage is nice even when out of flower. Plenty of fragrance as well.
