By the third year this was the most beautiful rose in my garden. This rose had 12 ft. canes, easily. I gave it plenty of room when I planted it and just let it grow. I didn't prune except to take out older canes occasionally. The canes arched down the hill with masses of double, baby-pink roses marching along the canes. I had no trouble with black spot or powdery mildew. I built a new home recently and will be planting another Jeanne La Joie as soon as I can get my hands on one.

Very winter-hardy, although there might be some cane dieback in the most severe weather. I've seen no disease problems in my garden. The plant is slow to establish itself; the first summer you plant it, it will just seem to sit there doing nothing. Be patient; it's growing roots! The second summer will show some modest cane growth. The third summer - jump out of its way, or you'll be in danger of being overrun. If you want an easy-care, hardy climbing rose, you won't be disappointed with this one.
