Yes @edhelka I have it.. it threw up a long cane last autumn which I've pruned back a bit.. I don't have much to tell about it at this stage but it seemed to flower continuously..
@Oliya .. as Mr Vine ... I can't remember how mine grew in the first year but yes it can be grown as a large shrub. Sometimes it looks better that way I think.. it grew very quickly in the 2nd year and was a vigorous rose.. beautiful foliage..
Looking at Mr Vine's Lady of the Lake, I must say I like the picture in the DA handbook of it on a wall, very impressive looking rose... one to recommend I think..

Thanks, I searched the forum and found some photos in your 2021 thread. Did you get it last year?
I've always liked the look of it on HMF and after that DA feeding frenzy last week, my buy it now finger is itchy... not that I have space for it though.
@edhelka ...yes I got it last summer, potted at Peter Beales nursery... it was growing in their gardens and I took a liking to it. The foliage is exceptionally healthy, and dark green..
@Nollie, I like the growth on your baby The Prince. The other one can promote to The King now.
Mine had to be cut back almost to ground as well and now showing some leaves and new growth.
I got some time to see what is going in garden, good thing is looks like the mouse has left the compost bin and bin was full of worms again. And bad thing is weeds are all back in full swing and covered the beds green

Same here @Mr. Vine Eye, potted roses against my east and even north walls are leafing out faster than the south-facing ones out in the open..
The Prince:
Having cut off the extensive dieback on my two new wimpy Princes next to big brother tho, I’m left with a few small sprouts from the base:
On the whole, my Delbard roses are way ahead, even the newbies like Folle Courtesan:

Delbard's certainly produce roses with fine foliage..
