I ended up with this bush by accident and though the scent is beautiful I find the tattered ruffles quite unattractive. For me it makes for a messy looking display I actively avoid spending any time looking at while watering. I was hoping it would at least produce some of the better looking blooms on here. This ones getting passed on to someone who wants it for something cleaner looking especially if its a BS magnet like other comments have pointed out. Space is limited so I need labels to be accurate.

I have a new Angel face that is VID top (leaves and blooms vid) to bottom (roots fortuniana vid). So far it is a very strong plant with no disease and great blooms.

Oh-her fragrance! How I wanted to love this rose! but no. She's the only rose I chucked out after only one year in my garden. Unhealthy and only one or two blooms. So sad. I replaced her with Violet's Pride. Fingers Crossed!

A lovely-smelling rose, with fairly pretty blooms. I had a grafted example that did well in a large container. But I only got to enjoy it for one season, as a rather mild winter in Zone 7a killed it pretty thoroughly. I know container planting is harder on roses in the winter, but my other roses listed as hardy to Zone 5b seem fine. I am thinking this rose might have survived a typical Zone 8b winter in its container, so maybe call it a Zone 7b in the ground, but 5b seems overly optimistic.
