She is extremely fragrant with a fruity, myrrh scent. Flowers are produced in profusion on this continually blooming, compact, bushy plant with foliage all the way to the ground.

Distant Thunder is very beautiful with it's delicate paper mache or origami shaped/textured blooms with gorgeous sunset colors. It is a wonderful symmetrical compact shrub for a small space. However, so far in my first year of growing it, it doesn't have any fragrance yet. I won't let that deter my 5 star rating just yet unless next year the fragrance doesn't develop. I know some roses need 2-3 years to develop their strong fragrance I've heard.
