Six to seven years old. Raised from seed of found plant. Seems slow to mature, but this year gave the most blooms so far. Foliage delightfully scented of sweet, fresh apple. Plant is fragrant throughout the growing season, and the fragrance of the foliage carries beautifully on humid air. Extremely prickly. Can get black spot. Z5b/Sunset 41 South Central Michigan.
