This is a great rose. It is a repeater, is fabulously scented, is upright and looks very glamorous and can be a climber. When I bought it I didn't realise it could be a climber (ie very tall) and it became too tall for the front of my bed where I had planted it. I moved it to the fence in 2012 (at the wrong time) so I hoped it would forgive me. It had been a very strong rose so I hoped so. The flowers don't hold their initial shape for long but they 'blow' in a delightful way and, because it is floriferous and repeats so well, it doesn't matter that they don't last very long.
In 2013 it has been a bit spindly (the move I guess) but is flowering and I hope it will take better next year to its new position.
