Leander is low thorn & wimpy as own root and died twice in my zone 5 winter. This rose is best as grafted for height and vigor. The scent is marvelous: strong old rose and musk (similar to Felicia), rather than medium tea. Blooms last long in the vase, up to 4 days. Gave 2 good flushes: spring and fall as 1st year tiny band size own root. Needs protection from rabbits eating its low thorn canes.
Maryland zone 7b. For a view of the habit, please search within the Rose Geek YouTube channel. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLe-tkOWy09d48EpCV_nQtV4JNol89tTs8
