| I adore this rose. Due to our mild winter there was no dieback so it's covered in these gorgeous plummy red blooms with white streaks. Smells yummy too!

| Pretty Teeandcee! I've seen some yards with a lot of roses blooming this spring. I think the winter was good to them. |

| I have gone through my attempts at roses. That one is the kind I love - old fashioned looking dark and fragrant. I am surrounded by multiflora from a hedge that used to be in a fence line of a dairy neighbor. I think disease comes from them. I do have Knock Outs but there is no fragrance. |
|
| Thank y'all. I have Knockouts too and am one of those people who can smell a fragrance on them even if it's faint. Everything seems to be extra pretty this year. |

| Gorgeous rose. I have wondered about trying it, but haven't so far. I thought there would be more white? My roses are all in full bloom about a month early. Do you have to spray to keep down black spot. There came early to the roses this year too. |

| Gldn, it does have more white. Below are pics taken yesterday that show its normal appearance (April 27). One thing about this rose is it seems to be a bit tender up here. It's big this year due to our mild winter but the year before it came through the winter with only 2 canes. I'm not sure how it'll hold up long term. It does get blackspot but I don't bother to spray. I've noticed that as my roses mature they grow more immune to BS. This rose never defoliates, just loses some leaves.
