Abundant flowers, clear, non-fading color and good disease resistance in my garden, although I've only been growing it for about four months.

I grow this rose as a short climber. It is currently about 7 ft. tall. Although slow to reach this height (about five years) some of this slowness is due no doubt to it's being in a half-shade site and it doesn't get watered a lot.
In general I like this rose although it definitely has trouble opening it's flowers in rainy weather. In a sunny position this might be less of a problem.
The color often fades to a milky whitish-pink but despite these problems I would still call it a good rose as it has many good attributes, especially vigor, disease resistance, wonderful form and fresh bloom color. The fragrance is interesting. Austin says it smells of myrrh. I'll take his word on that, just adding that it's an acquired taste (odor).
