I may be confused, hallucinating, or just a bit tired, but this thread seems to have disappeared from the Roses Forum listing... had to look for it on my 'Activity' tab thingy (since there was another query re pruning (on the Antique RF, I think) and I wondered if it was the same person asking... Sorry, it's probably just me...
How to prune roses that grow year round!
You will have to strip the foliage off the plant Then prune it back to maybe 4 feet. Remove all crossing canes and the wanna be twiggy growth. Feed them and water them and they will take back off
You will have to remove the leaves to stop the growth of the plant
Spikeyguy -- there is some conjecture that 'Baby Faurax' is a dwarf repeat-blooming sport of 'Veilchenblau'. I don't grow either, so I can go by only pics at HelpMeFind. Be aware that some nurseries sell 'Raymond Privat' as 'Baby Faurax', so you might have to do some sleuthing to find the real one. And there are a few other Polyanthas of similar coloring which you may wish to investigate. If this was my project, I'd get 'Veilchenblau' and give it a couple years to gain size, all the while evaluating which Polyantha(s) I'd wish to bud onto it. This may involve buying them at the same time and growing them on in pots.

It affects the look of other parts of Houzz, so if you used Houzz before the GW merge, you might be careful! I like the look of it (Morning Glory) while checking out the other parts of Houzz, too, so it's all good for me :)
Just FYI, sawdust can also look delightful used for paths, esp. the informal, narrow woodland-type, since it blends in beautifully with the natural environment. I'm guessing this may only really work in dryer climates; the sawdust may just rot down too quickly in wetter areas.
I'd agree with Wirosarian about avoiding anything with toxic substances in it, eg chemically-treated pine, laminated plywoods, composite board, etc. - especially if you may be using the compost for anything edible.

Treated lumber treated with cca is still sold today so be careful. It uses copper, chromium and arsenate a form of arsenic which is a pesticide. CCA in not used in Homes or play grounds anymore but is still sold. All treated lumber does contain pesticides in case thats important to you.
Here it isn't growable without a spray program. I've seen it under those conditions, and it blooms once then defoliates.
My guess is that HMF is saying it blackspots fairly badly, but is at least reasonably resistant to rust and mildew.
The following is a 2012 PDF download report from U. California, Davis which reports finding low numbers of CNRNV infections in their Prunus species collection (Cherry 4%, peach 3.2%, and plum 2.5%). Unfortunately, they do not know the countries of origin of their infected plants.

I think it could be correct. The pale pink looks right and the form. The darker petal edges may just be from the conditions it was growing in when it bloomed. I would wait for it to bloom again before making any decision. Make sure you get pictures of all the bloom stages and the leaves to repost then.
You have awesome taste. I have Marie Curie, one of my favs -- grows wider than tall with beautiful ruffled blooms. And I also have Kateryna, love it as well -- very healthy, one of Clements best.
Yes Thanks Steve, got that- that's why I edited at the bottom. They name to many roses similar. It's ok though. My names Alana though- not Alan-that's my dad's name :) Good Luck with your choice of roses-hope they do well, and sorry I couldn't have been more help. Cheers! Waiting on spring :)
