| I think Firefighter is a nice red rose, but my favorite thing about it is the wonderful fragrance. |

| I have to try that one Sara-Ann. I love Oklahoma for the same reason. |

| I just bought Firefighter!!! Had to cut back a lot of blackened growth - but I'm excited about it. I'm really excited to have it confirmed that it has great fragrance. Love your huge happy rose!!! Looks like a winner.

| Thank you everyone. Denise and Carol - Unless you both have a different experience than I have had, I believe Firefighter is a great rose, but does take some patience. Mine is taking awhile to get going, but it looks healthy. Next year will be its third year, so hopefully it will be more vigorous. Good luck! |

| Nice bud! This was my favorite red this spring at the nursery. Veteran's Honor had prettier buds, Always and Forever had excel color but didn't care for the form, Oh My! had an orange cast ..... then I spotted Firefighter. Yes to color, form acceptable, and then the fragrance. Wow. If it had a bud as pretty as yours I would have bought it on the spot. Still thinking of it. Would love to see more pictures as the season progresses. |

| Iris - This is a picture of Let Freedom Ring, I think the color is just about perfect, but sometimes I have detected an orange cast. Unfortunately it has no fragrance, but it does have a long vase life. |

| Oh my. That is nice. I like the vase life. |

| So beautiful, Sara-Ann. Can you tell me about Firefighter's fragrance? What other rose does it smell like? |

| Thank you Iris and Kousa - To me Firefighter's fragrance is similar to Chrysler Imperial, but maybe a little stronger at times. |
