Very pretty rose ! It doesn't look that "wimpy" to me, however.
Is it fragrant ?

Earlier this week I saw a gargantuan Cl. Talisman rose which completely covers the roof of a detatched 2 car garage.
According to the homeowner it's 70 years old. His grandmother planted it. Normally, that one gets powdery mildew really bad here, but this one was incredible. I asked the guy how he prunes it and he said every 5 years he takes a chain saw to it and sheers it off flat to the roof and that's it !
