Oh dear! No replies! I just happened to stumble on this as I was looking up KH references for a reply to an Antique Roses Forum query. So, FWIW, in case you're still hanging out for a response, I am familiar with KH in the sense of having admired her often at a local specialist rose display garden, and from what I've read, but haven't grown her myself. She's a very pretty lady indeed, but the main problem many people find with her and ZD is a strong tendency to mildew, so if you're aware of mildew being a common problem in your area, she may not be the best choice. Having said that, some people have none, or minimal mildew that doesn't seem to affect the plant's overall health and vigour, etc. The open trellis in your photo would be ideal for her, since it should give good airflow around her, which will help minimise any mildew attacks. Apart from that, she should be very easy to train however you would like her over that lattice, and would look delightful!.. with the bonus of a lovely perfume. Old climbing roses like this don't have to be pruned much; just cut out any dead or unproductive canes at the base once a year. You can deadhead or not, as you choose (helps stimulate more repeat blooms)...really very easy-care. Some people spray with milk and water for mildew prevention, you could try the organic rose growing forum or other web references for more info on this. If you have any further queries on this or other older type roses (i.e. not including modern hybrid teas and floribundas) I highly recommend the Antique Rose Forum here on gardenweb. It's massively popular - currently getting up to 10 new threads a day - and always lots of highly knowledgeable folk happy to share their knowledge and love/obsession for these lovely old garden subjects. Another great resource is the website 'HelpMeFind' for info, photos and comments on all kinds of roses. Hope this helps. Comtesse :-)

Thank you everyone! Pat, yes she is a sport of ZD. It's her fourth season, and even though she's bloomed okay the previous two years, she really took off this year. Doesn't seem to have the tendency, at least for me, to get as big as ZD, but I'm happy about that, I would rather she didn't. Lynn, I got mine from Roses Unlimited. Not quite sure why KH isn't more widely grown, it's a charming rose IMHO. I recall that I got it, because it is a sport of ZD, and I liked the blooms too.

Thank you dizzylizzy, Diane and Lisa. Diane they are both Bourbons. MEC is a sport of MME ISAAC PEREIRE and KATHLEEN HARROP is a sport of ZEPHIRINE DROUHIN. I like them both better than the other two. Like most of my Bourbons (except for SDlM) they only have a few scattered blooms after the first flush. I used to think I didn’t want roses that didn’t repeat frequently, but I enjoy them while I’m waiting for the others to begin their show. I do think it’s going to be a good season, everything is very healthy and I have lots of buds, However, we’ve had June/July like weather and all weekend lots of wind, Ive been doing a lot of watering. Lisa, I’m not sure. Seems like I saw KH listed in RU and looked it up on HMF, loved the color, and thought it was charming, that’s why I got it. Some fuller blooms today on MEC

So pretty. Once I’ve determined if Zephy likes it here, I might need to add this rose too
