This a beautiful old rose, however it does not do well above Zone 7-8. It blooms best in autumn. Not sure why it is listed as hardy to zone 10 on this site, possibly it's a typo. FYI for warmer zone buyers.
Kind regards,

This plant has really taken off. No repeat bloom yet, but it did bloom generously this Spring. It had to wait several months in a container before I could access the garden site due to overdue construction. But it has really settled in and put out an amazing amount of growth in just two weeks. I may get a second flush in the fall but I am content for it to spend the rest of the season getting established.
The loose form of this pink rose is lovely. It has a delicious scent and repeat bloom. Give it a try.
I have this bush planted near some lighter purple Iris and some dark purple Allium which makes a stunning trio. This bush seems to be a bit scruffy, and somewhat difficult to establish, but the fragrance is heavenly, and you can't beat the beauty of the blooms.
