Beautiful, strongly scented rose. Give it lots of room to grow, even in the Midwest. It is susceptible to black spot here in Nebraska. But definitely worth the trouble. One of my favorite cut roses.

I ordered melody parfumee bareroot from j&p, planted in early March, now doing great! Canes are shooting up 4ft with clusters of deep plum buds, at least 6 per cluster. Nice med. matte green foliage/clean. Can't wait to smell!

Lovely color change, from deep pinkish plum buds to soft lavender/pink mature blooms. Moderate fragrance has a strong citrus note. Vigorous and disease resistant so far in my garden.
