Without a doubt, absolutely one of the best and most unique David Austin roses ever released... why they discontinued this (and many other great roses) is totally beyond my sensibilities. The flowers are very unique in their blousy rustic charm and are wonderful for pollinator gardens. Despite what the description says, this shrub NOT aa poor bloomer; in fact, she is very everblooming in my tropical Zone 10b/11a climate. This is also one of the few DA roses that is naturally nematode resistant in places like South Florida; it can be planted on its own roots and need not be grafted. My only complaint about Marinette is that the canes are COVERED in big, stiff, viciously sharp thorns that will easily draw blood. Definitely not a variety to site near a patio or walkway or other situations where you may walk into her.
