Here this rose is blooming right now. Here is a picture (I could only capture about 1/3rd of the blooms, it is so big) of an old one which grows next to a bike path with no care-

Wow Jackie! Glorious! Mine is about one foot tall and 3 feet wide... Can't wait until I see it blooming like this. It will take a couple of years...or ten. Thanks for the pic. Anybody knows if it's a reasonably fast grower?

Absolutely delicious - another, like Belle Portugaise, I can only enjoy vicariously.....so thank you, Jacqueline.

Holy Smoke!

That is so pretty. It looks like a fairy tale.

I planted one last year and it grew quite a lot. Even better: it made it through our extreme winter when I was zone pushing to begin with. I am excited to see what my little one does this year.
