I love this rose. Growing year by year as well as living through winter. Dark red, although many rusted this year due to the endless evening rains. It is also the name of my niece, so even more a treasure. :-)

Thank you both. This about its best. I've gotten about 25 of these in a bunch this year. Wonderful performance.

Agreed about the red Lincs. I love it, but this rose has little smell, but I just smell harder....lol. Thanks. ;-)

Sandra, It does! Three winters now, and bigger each year. I've been dumbstruck, but I love it. I had a hybrid tea return this year, but just now....lol...not quite soon enough. I might dig it up, try it inside.

Thank you Hoembird. I don't have any that match up this first shot.

Its a canadian series listed for -50F. And it does it well. I still mulch and prune carefully, but I got about 30 buds this year and it grew to three feet to start out. Really a great one for tough areas.
