I'm so sorry I haven't tried to help you before, but --stupid of me--I had not realized that this strange name is a Rose! Now I know, and thank you!!
So! I'm copying out of by book:
Spinosissima Hybrid.
ORIGIN : Kordes, Germany , 1942
PARENTAGE:E.G. Hill+ Cathrine Cordes+
Altaika.
FLOWER SIZE: 11cm (4.3 in)
SCENT:Strong and sweet.
FLOWERING: Once early, then intermitently.
HEIGHT/SPREAD: 2m (6.6ft)/2,5m(8.2ft)
HARDINESS: Zone 5
I should add here, that Bex captures perfectly the beauty of your magestic future multicolored mixed border! And , yes! Please, some multicolored photos, to make our...hearts sing!
Good Luck!
Liza.

It probably IS too big for where I've got it, but may not get to the full spread this year and I can always move it next year
cheers
