I have 115 rose bushes. This is my favorite. The color is even better than the Peace roses and the fragrance is exquisite.
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.
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.
Never had problems with health or production of huge n fragrant roses. Please bring it back!
