Comments: This rose was given to me as a rooted cutting by a friend in 2000. It lived in a tiny pot until being planted in the North Lawn in the fall of 2001.

It gets a little blackspot in my organic garden, but is not among the worst offenders by any means. It has managed to bloom a bit on and off despite being restricted to a small pot. I am looking forward to seeing how it performs in the garden. It is one of the most fragrant roses I have.
