Insanely beautiful rose, firmly in my top three ever.
Luscious blousy shell pink turning candy pink toward the peony style centre of the bloom.
The scent is beyond fabulous, and lasts as long as the cut flower does without degrading into a greyish funk, unlike many tea roses. The sent is heady, musky, sweet and 'rosey' in the same way as attar, rosewater and the best essential oils smell of the flower itself.
If you only have room for a few roses, this has got to be one of them.

Probably my favorite rose. Lush, exotic, with an enchanting and unique fruity rose fragrance, very strong. The exquisite shade of pink is often touched at the base by a hint of yellow or pale apricot, giving it a subtle warmth. Large blooms, good rebloom, and very hardy here. A no-fuss rose, gracious and memorable.

While it has only been in my garden less than 1 year, I think I can easily award it my "most favorite" award. Outstanding rose.

Mine is growing in central Virginia in a fairly hot, sunny spot (full sun until 3:00 pm, then shade). It is growing wonderfully! And yes, incredible scent.

A great little Austin rose. The fragrance is amazing.

Positive Dea On May 18, 2004, Dea from Frederick, MD (Zone 6a) wrote:

The most highly scented and beautiful rose I have. Cannot tolerate hot, steady sun. Has taken 3 years to grow some shade plants around it, but definately worth it.

When I think of it I'll upload a picture of this outstanding beauty.

This is par-none - my absolute favorite rose of the 20 or so varieties I have in the garden and deserves a much better spot than where it's at.

It has gorgeous full blooms of pale pink with intense fragrance. A must have if you love the look of old fashioned roses.
