From your photo of Jeanne Lajoie, it looks like you may be growing it on a trellis. If so, did you espalier it 'formally'? If not, how did you train/prune it on the trellis?
Does it have fragrance? Repeat blooms? Disease resistance? Tolerance of shade?
Are you still growing it?
Thank you for any information.

Just planted my Star of the Republic about 6 weeks ago. First blossom opened today. Had to report on how heavenly the scent is. Wasn't really expecting anything this special. Very strong, rich, sweet myrrh scent with a fruity damask undertone. Fantastic! The bloom itself is also beautiful, apricoty-pink with yellow highlights. Love the bushy shape. So glad I finally decided to give this rose a try.

Hi,
I just got Star of the Republic. I was wondering how this rose is doing in your garden, 10 years later. Also, did you keep it a shrub shape? I am thinking of growing it as a climber. I would really appreciate your observations and thoughts about this rose. Thank you.
I grow in zone 6b (Ohio).
