When I first bought this rose, I thought it be rather ordinary; I was looking for a brightly colored orange rose. Wow! Was I surprised. If you are looking for an , orange exhibition rose and are tired of 'Folklore', plant this one! Most of the blooms are of perfect exhibition form. The intense orange color with coral and ginger hues holds well, and the perfect form stands up even in hot weather. It is also surprisingly fragrant, with a moderately strong fruity scent. It repeats consistently spring into fall. I did get some blackspot, but it didn't stop it from putting out loads of blooms.
A large bouquet of these put on your mailbox will stop traffic, and it's certainly an attention-getter at rose shows. Just imagine having 'Tropicana', 'Folklore', 'Fragrant Cloud', 'Shreveport', 'Remember Me', and 'Ring of Fire' all together in your rose garden for an orange overload!

Well packaged and pruned properly healthy too
