I already wrote that this is my first rose, so I bought it at the exhibition of 2005-2006 (I don’t remember exactly) as a climbing rose, so I planted it at the porch with the hope that there would be an arch. As Svetlana said that she was absolutely true before the moon, as before the moon, but at the time when I bought it before the moon was me. For all the years it was not possible to keep a large increase, it freezes to the ground in the winter, but the truth is restored with a bang. In one very harsh winter, it froze to death here in such a state, and moreover it was not rounded up and rolled up in one layer.Thought all the skullcap, but no, survived beautiful. I really like its strong aroma, and it is not necessary to smell it, it spreads around. The first smell that meets me in the morning, when I go out on the porch at the time of flowering roses.
