Is anyone growing this? A customer (who came in for a different rose
altogether) has sent us a photograph of his and it loks really lovely.
He says it's very vigorous - a bit thuggish with "a much larger flower
than the type". I'd never even heard of it but am now very inclined to
search for it.

Found it a bit tender (unless it was something else that killed it!

I wondered if that might be the case! I've ordered one from Austin's so
we'll have to put it somewhere sheltered, or relatively warm in winter.
However, the photo with it shows it growing up a house wall in (I
think) the Bristol area.
