I have an alternate to this plant and it was labeled "perfume tiger". It is mostly white with purple stripes. I'm guessing it was the same rose. The smell is just wonderful! I have it in a large pot in my yard. It gets sun all day and is growning great. I recommend this plant to anyone that wants a showy garden.

This was one of the first two rose bushes I purchased after moving to the area. I was very pleased with the plant's growth and abundant production of blooms. It is now in its second season and still going strong!

I brought this home with a small, new collection of purple fragrant roses for the new hummingbird area, and this one just gave up the ghost. I was sooo bummed, not another one was available anywhere, everyone else (Intrique, Melody parfume, Aromatherapy, Angel Face, Perfume Delight) was just fine. I watered it, stroking it's dead brown limbs daily, and...wala....it came back. Praise the Lord and pass the Miracle Grow. I expect this delight to be one of my favorites.

We just recently took a tour threw "Reiman Gardens" in Ames, Iowa. This is where I first learned of the "Purple Tiger" rose. I would like to add this rose to my collection next year. All I can say is that this rose was very pretty. Was very surprised that they do not mulch there roses. The ground was very dry but the roses were over all pretty healthy.
