This is my favorite rose I grow. The smell is strong and intoxicating, like rose water. This rose is very strong and drought resistant here in zone 9b. I don’t water it much, even in our 100 plus dry summer. It is only a couple years old and it was in bloom from the beginning of March to mid June.
Most unique rose I own out of around 50 roses. Pairs so well with peach, lavenders, creams and pale colors. Strong and healthy, Hardy rose. Seems to be pest and disease resistant One of my favorites. Color is like a fantastic dark wine.
The rose of rosewater! It sure smells like rosewater when it blooms. Has quite a few thorns, and an interesting looking bud stage. Mine has only bloomed in the spring, but it is young, so my guess is that it will repeat bloom in the fall when it is a bit more established.
This by far is the prettiest rose I've ever grown. The quality of the plant is excellent.
