Sandy Zarembski –
I purchased Grand Champion a few years back. No rose in my garden beats it for health, and few can match it for perpetual bloom. Although it is listed as a zone 5 rose, it survived a zone 4 winter here (2019) with no protection. The bush looks amazing — the roses have a sort of neon effect against the leaves. However, it has no fragrance that I can detect outside of an occasional whiff of a bubble gum scent.
