Prince napoleon is an antique rose. This one is supposed to be a climber but it’s never grown more than six or seven feet tall. I’m not complaining since it’s often lush with beautifully scent flowers.
This rose is also quite hardy. It often has almost fully green branches in late winter and early spring when the snow melts so I have very little to do with it in the way of pruning off winter damaged growth.
I love this rose.

My wife loves roses. I have to admit this rose is really beautiful. If I can find a similar one, I will present it to my wife.

My GTS photo is not at all that beautiful today, but maybe interesting….
