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. |

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. |

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. |
