This rambler has been everything I could have hoped for from day one and requires minimal care. This is now about three years old.

Purchased one years ago and it climbed (trained) over my second story gutters, as I wanted it to, to provide a lavish display. Lost to witches broom a few years ago, so am ordering replacement. I live 40 miles NW of Chicago ( I am in Z5), and the plant grew in a wind tunnel along the ne corner of the house - and thrived. Tough plant!

This is the one rambler that I know will winter over in zone 5. I started growing it in an urban setting not realizing how vigorous it was. I relocated it to Northern Michigan, where it grows to the top of very tall pine and then cascades downwards. I have a cold spring here so it usually blooms in July for me. It is the centerpiece of the garden for the 6 weeks it blooms for me. Just gorgeous!!

I live in SE Kansas and planted this rose about 3-4 years ago in partial shade on a chain link fence. I am not exaggerating, it is over 30' long and puts on the most magnificent show every spring. I absolutely cannot wait for it to bloom every year. I do wish it was a repeat bloomer, however, it gives me that much more to look forward to every year this way not to mention every year I am constantly amazed at just how LARGE this beautiful rose has become! It has such a nice fragrance but beware it is extremely thorny. It is definitely a highlight in my yard and I am considering planting a couple more of them along the opposite fence line.
