Only rose I ever bought based on description and picture only, not a single bloom on the plant when purchased last year. Intoxicatingly strong scented beautiful creamy yellow center with pink tinged edges. It's still my favorite to share from my garden of 7 different roses.
my favorite rose - the blooms are beautiful and the smell is intoxicating - it's planted near the street so I get many compliments on it and every time i come home it's blooms make me smile - so far it's survived every winter here - this winter has been colder than normal so I'm hoping it'll be back this spring!
I have found this to be a fabulous rose. Not only beautiful but strong fragrance. I'm surprised that I have not heard more about it on the net. I bought it as a tree rose two years ago when it first came out. The first year there were a few blooms. This year it has been loaded with blooms all a minimum of 4" across. My only somewhat negative comment would be that I have battled blackspot. I manage to keep it under control with a weekly spraying program.

I planted her this spring after hearing of her rich fragrance and I loved the color, too. I was not disappointed! Gorgeous colors, and an intense old rose fragrance.
