Magic Carrousel {{gwi:1206716}} (thumbnail, click to see full photo) has been a blooming fool for us since 2001. {{gwi:1202180}} takes the cold like a champ and is usually among the last of our roses to quit blooming in the fall. MC does get about 3 ft tall x 3 ft wide for us. I had been warned how large it gets and did give it plenty of room. At least they said mild fragrance. It is very mild and I have to get very close to detect it. Fragrance is there. It just doesn't knock my socks off. I keep hoping foliage will get thicker on MC but have my doubts it will. I like thick, lush foliage and our MC is always on the lanky side. {{gwi:1206722}} Deb loves the critter and I like it. Don't know why it hasn't grabbed me. The foliage and mild fragrance are the only bad things I can say about it. It really is a very good rose for us.
Rosy Dawn (MC x MC) is on the way here because Deb likes MC so much.

It's pretty popular, and as dave shows, a good bloomer. A cheerful looking plant. Todd, which nursery (if you don't mind my asking)? We need to find a new one for my mom, and if they have produce too that's a big plus.

I love It! It is almost never without blooms, I had no disease problems,( I do spray ) It has wintered beautifully for 4 years with just a couple of shovelfuls of mulch thrown on it! It is a nice compact mounded bush in my garden. I don't notice any fragrance.

Just wanted to add that a few buds have bloomed, and I do notice a mild rose scent. I do have to pretty much put my nose on the petals, but it *is* there. Which is nice.

I love it so much so far, the inch wide blooms are so cute! It's a Weeks own-root, according to the label. It has quite a few buds, at least a dozen or more. hehe...it's getting me real excited about adding a few more mini's to my garden. Don't have much, if any, room left in the ground tho, so if/when I do get more minis, they'll all go into pots.

Trying to talk my dear wife into going tomorrow or Monday to pick up one or 2 more ;) Should wrote down what varities the nursery had, so I coulda asked here for advice on which ones to choose...o well...MC seems to be working out pretty good, considering it's only been mine for about a week.
