Easily propagated by cutting, many successes without using any hormone. I just break a piece of a stem doesn't matter new wood/old wood or semi hard, it just need a little watering now and then in sandy soil(even then I stuck in clay it still root) Have many baby plants that mature rather too fast and start blooming in less then 6 months from start. Once it gets bushy it doesn't need any fertilizer or spraying. Its indeed a carefree rose. Its weakness is iron deficiency will show on leaf with yellow patches and sometimes proliferates in the center of the bloom in the summer. It proliferates every yr a little about 2% of the time rest of the bloom is normal and no mildew or rust or anything. There is a strong perfume like C. B rose. I think B. A got a leg up on C. B because its a bush form and doesn't need to stake or support vs. a climber.

However, with the information that I have gathered, I am convinced that my rose is Bloomfield Abundance. It is a hardy rambler and has a strong "grassy" rose fragrance and will often have 30 or more blooms on a stem or spray. My favorite rose.

Some sources warn that many roses sold as 'Bloomfield Abundance' are in actuality a sport of 'Cecile Brunner' (possibly 'Spray Cecile Brunner')
