Posted by zuzu (Northern California - Zone 9a) on Feb 6, 2014 2:33 PM This is one of the super-resilient and drought-tolerant roses that can be seen growing in vacant lots and along roadsides everywhere in my county (the others are Madame Alfred Carriere and Dorothy Perkins). In my garden, it's situated on a slope that's rarely watered, but it continues to exhibit vigorous growth and regular flushes of blooms despite the lack of care it receives. The blooms are small, but they grow in clusters and they cover the bush, creating an eye-catching display. The blooms smell like raspberries, my favorite fragrance in roses.
