Oh Kathy, it's better! Thornless, scented, and it blooms all the way to frost. First abundance, then perhaps 10-12 flowers at a time. I grew it as a shrub, not a climber. It does tend to get blackspot if you don't water it evenly, a problem I solved by putting a soaker hose at the base and watering for 15 minutes once a week if it didn't rain. But the amazing thing about it is that blackspot does NOTHING to slow down the blooming, and it doesn't defoliate. And unlike MANY roses, it blooms to the ground.

These pics were taken over a 4 year period. It's not a one hit wonder.
