A Sleeper Hit?

Last year, Winchester Cathedral produced exactly one flower. It's putting out its first flush ever this week, and in spite of the fact that it's not one of the most popular Austin roses, I think it's quite adorable. Maybe it's plain, but it's perfect for people like me who love the white OGRs and are crying into their pillows at night because Madame Hardy is being ravaged by insects. I hope that AUScat does well in our yard, because it's filling a hole in my heart right now. Poor Madame Hardy. I think she's taking a hail of bullets for Siren's Keep this year. All the insects that ruined SK last year are pig-piling on Madame...

I'm considering planting another Madame Hardy in a completely different location, but I wonder if I have room.
