This rose is from a plant in my Mother's garden in Minnesota. As a young bride in 1949, she got it from an abandoned homestead across the road from her house, where a German couple had planted it around 1900, bringing it to Minnesota from Chicago. It has a really heady heavenly fragrance. It does not bloom reliably in my Tok Alaska garden but it has survived our winters that routinely get down to 60's and 70's below zero Fahrenheit. It is as lovely and tough as my mother.
