If you don't already grow GP, I've found it to be a great landscape shrub. It takes little care, handles all kinds of abuse and keeps on coming back just fine.
In my garden, it has no winter die back and it holds up to the heat just fine. It can take a hard prune ... ie, a severe deer chomp ... or you can ignore it, and it just keeps on blooming. In other words, it's not a fussy rose.
I've added quite a few photos to the db, but none of them really catch the effect of the rose in the garden. My plant started out as a 4" plant from Berling and is an own root rose growing in lousy soil.
Also, it came through the drought without any problems. Not bad for a rose.
