The drawback: growing into a large crabapple tree, the rose's weight was so great it broke branches. Smothered a lilac, a quince, and a Japanese maple. As the thorn are large, sharp and backward curving, pruning (or walking in the garden) is a challenge.

It has grown very vigourously even in our heavy soil which alternates between sticky mud and hard concrete, it could easily cover our roof and we have only managed to keep it in check by constantly pruning the strongest shoots. The temperatures here range from -5ºC to 39ºC but it has coped and remained green and growing, at a slower pace, all winter. The beautiful bunches of fragrant pink blooms more than make up for its awesome thorns and that it only flowers once a year, (in May-June here), it's certainly the main feature of our terrace.

At best it gets a total of 3 hours of sun a day, early morning and late afternoon.
After 5 years it is about 25' up into the tree.
When in bloom it is gorgeous w/ pale pink blooms and a marvelous aroma.
You can easily smell it 30' away.
The only downside is the blooming period is only 3 weeks or so, w/ peak bloom 7-10 days, depending on the temperature.
If you don't have a tree then a seriously tall and sturdy structure is needed.
This is a HEAVY plant.
This is a rambler NOT a climber so help will be needed until
It reaches an area w/ horizontal support.
(we loosely tied it to the trunk until it reached the lowest limbs)
It will then weave it's way through the tree and become self supporting and ties can be cut off.
It is VERY thorny so it will stick the tree bark fairly well.
Expect 2 years or more before the first heavy bloom.

This rose does very well with only about four hours of direct sun, and bloomed very well for me in only it's second year.
