Noted by Antique Rose Emporium:
"Beautiful, high-centered, cerise-pink flowers with an overwhelming Bourbon fragrance make this climbing rose a knockout in spring and fall. The canes are thornless and the dark green foliage is thick and very healthy, displaying coppery purple new growth making a vivid contrast with the pink blossoms. A perfect rose to train up a porch column where you will pass it often, or for use where children may be playing. Although this climber has been promoted as a shade grower and bloomer, we can not support that statement."
