It bloomed!

I don't seem to be able to edit my review above, so I wanted to review the plant for its flowers. This is by far my favorite of all of my roses. The scent really does resemble that of a magnolia and with magnolia being my favorite scent, this rose takes the cake. It has bloomed in breathtaking profusion along my fenceline and because it gets afternoon sun there, on a hot summer afternoon the area gets heady with Devoniensis' perfume. The flowers are exactly as pictured above; creamy white with a faint pink tinge to the center. No trouble with the humidity here in central VA USDA Zone 7.

Vigorous grower, no blooms yet

I haven't had my Devoniensis but for a year and a half so I haven't experienced the blooms yet. I did want to weigh in on the vigor of the plant, though. When I first planted it alongside my picket fence, I had a small cage to protect it from rabbits and deer. I don't know what happened to it, but the leaves turned black, then the stems, and slowly it died back to seemingly nothing. I was so disappointed because I was looking forward to seeing it scramble over our fence and brighten up the front yard. I decided to leave it in place just in case there was "a little life in the roots." I am so glad that I did because this past spring (2013) it sprang up like mad! It covered an entire 4 ft high, 5 ft wide section of my fence and is starting to branch out the other direction, too. At the very least I can say it's a hardy thing and grew very well this season. Maybe next year I'll get to experience the blooms.
