Heady scent, beautiful blooms.

I barely got my French Perfume rose delivered a month ago and her growth has almost been like a syfy movie. She was bare of leaves and twiggy when I got her and she's bursting out of her 13" container now and ready to be transplanted to the ground, as soon as I can find a good location for her. It's not easy when you have a smallish lot and a 100+ roses.

I thought she'd be a cream-and-pink, but she's more of a yellow-and-pink at this time and her scent! Especially at night and in the mornings, my backyard is bathed by the aroma coming from her and especially, from Lyda Rose. These two seem to be competing right now for strongest scent. I didn't think she'd produce such a strong fragrance her first year, but she's surprised me. Very pleased with this quick-growing, heavenly scented beauty.

Top rose

I have 115 rose bushes. This is my favorite. The color is even better than the Peace roses and the fragrance is exquisite.

Perfect

I have nearly 90 rose bushes. I'm an addict. French Perfume is at the top. It's May now, I'm in SE Ohio and the bush is thriving and has buds ready to open. It's like Peace but with deeper coloring. Prettier than any of the sports of Peace, IMO. Of course, great perfume. I use winter protection but still, some roses don't make it. This one has done well over winter.

Salient

Rounds out my display of roses (22 in all). However, with the temperatures in the high 90s and 3 digits all are not giving their best at present. Nevertheless, In the spring here in Northern California she was beautiful and lived up to her potential; I'm looking forward to Area 9 temperatures again so I may observe French Perfume and Mercury Rising playing off each other with Peace separating the two.
