We moved into our house 18 mos. ago and this rose was planted in a very sheltered spot, but very dry...had no idea if it would survive our serious winter but in spring it put up one very long and vigorous cane...no bloom. This Spring, 2012, the growth is more compact but it has 4 canes in blossom...the flowers are the same colour as the thorns!...that's what lead me to identify it as GJ...I'm thrilled as it has a lovely scent and is strong enough to survive here.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5576842140672493583.post-13708237687768131862011-04-02T08:43:20.526-05:002011-04-02T08:43:20.526-05:00Too true!
