Hello -
I've grown Generous Gardener. It bloomed beautifully right during the first year and It's quite thornless as I recall, but it is a musk rose. So in warm weather, the fragrance - for me - was too overpowering musky. I prefer a sweet or fruity fragrance like Boscobel (which doesn't bloom as well) or Savillana,. So I gave Generous Gardener to my neighbor.
