Modern Climber
Let me first state that I've grown this rose for five years but her roots never developed properly so she only had a few flowers each year and many blind shoots.
The flowers that did appear were outright gorgeous: Very large, double, old fashioned shaped in this apricot or apricot blend color. Some flowers were ruffled which reminded me of Yves Piaget. They have a moderate fruity fragrance. But again they are magnificent and last for a long time. Probably mine had a bad rootstock and I was sad to see her go so don't be put off by my not so good experience. Polka or Lord Byron can reach 350 cm or 11 feet but I would use her as a pillar or obelisk rose or maybe against a white wooden fence because she takes her time to get large. She's Hardy zone 5b to 9b and repeats regularly in summer. I didn't see blackspot or mildew on her. It's a rose in the style of Alibaba but with a bit larger flowers.
A very beautiful nostalgic modern climber
