I just purchased this variety at a garden center on Kauai. I had never seen this variety before but the color and the softness of the petals drew me in. I am a relatively novice rose grower, having never grown roses in Hawaii. I hope this bush will thrive well here, as I live on the sunny dry side of the island. I will post as to my progress on this journey. Aloha :)

I have not grown this rose but observed it very carefully all throughout spring in the nursery where I work. The flowers, form, and foliage are magnificent and so is the fragrance. While other roses seemed to struggle to recuperate from a hail storm, bouts of black spot, etc., this beauty took the same challenges in stride and never skipped a beat. I hate that I didn't buy one for myself and will definitely be poised to snag one next year.
I agree that, although it isn't noted in the official descriptions, this rose has a really lovely scent.

I have three growing through a Shiny Xylosma hedge and it's beautiful when the various shades of color are poking through the hedge. It also smells very nice. The range of colors are lovely. I'm actually going to put one more to replace a lavender that croaked.

Most people say that this particular rose doesn't have any fragrance but the one outside my front door does. It smells heavenly with that classic "rose" scent.
