Hi Dingo, I'm thinking of getting this rose. Would you recommend it? I'm in Zone 5, NW Illinois. Thx.	REPLY

Hi Bella! I do recommend this one. It does get fairly large 4X4 maybe, and the canes will arch if you let them. It's pretty forgiving about pruning, and the re bloom is good. The blooms are not highly scented, and are long lasting. I will add another picture so you can see the whole shrub.	REPLY

Thanks for the info! Did you purchase it own root or grafted?	REPLY

I'm pretty sure its own root - I guess I haven't looked but I didn't know it was available grafted. Was on fall clearance a few years ago at Atrium. I don't remember seeing it offered locally since then. I think it would do fine own root. It does set fertile seed too if you ever want to play around with that.	REPLY
