Tough as nails in a sufficiently warm climate. Here it almost always blooms on Christmas and New Year's Day. Takes neglect, drought, soggy soil, sudden frosts, you name it. Probably not unkillable, but I'm not certain -- maybe if poorly established it will die in extreme conditions. Not the showiest rose but an attractive and reliable bloomer that can take astounding (unintended in my case, I hasten to add) abuse and keep growing and blooming. If your climate is warm enough, get one. Heck, if you can get it own-root and you're in a marginal climate, try it anyway. Seriously.
