'L. D. Braithwaite' rose Reviews & Comments
-

|
I've had this for two growing seasons, one year in age purchased direct from David Austin Roses.
Vigour is not impressive so far, disease resistance is average at best. Doesn't mildew here in my Great Lakes garden, but it does black spot.
Virtually NO SCENT to the very slightest scent possible. Extremely disappointing in this aspect. Maybe it will improve with maturity? I won't count on it.
Brilliant, flag red.
I find Fisherman's Friend to be a superior grower and bloomer here, and it has actual great fragrance to boot.

I am wondering if whoever wrote this description just saw that it was an Austin and overgeneralized or went by the David Austin's catalog's description of this rose. It has no discernible fragrance to me whatsoever. Which is a major disappointment -- $30 wasted. It is beautiful but I only have fragrant roses in my garden. . hate false advertising by rose sellers. And it is even worse when you read it here. No fragrance.

In my experience, this rose has quite a notable fragrance; maybe just the location and time of flowering is the difference?
