The pictures just don't do this one justice. The blooms are so charming, and fragrance is so sweet. Plant along a pathway so you can enjoy the beautiful fragrance!

What am I not seeing about this parentage:
Garden Party (hybrid tea, Swim, 1959) × Sweet Afton (hybrid tea, Armstrong & Swim, 1964). - Reference
or
['Fandango' x ('World's Fair' x 'Floradora')] x 'Chrysler Imperial'. - Patent

It HAS to be Garden Party and Sweet Afton it looks just like both of them. If the other parentage is from an early 1970’s ARS annual well, lots of errors in those. …….Touch of Venus smells like cheap Pond’s Cold Cream and that is not a bad thing. What IS a bad thing is that it is weaker than either parent, very weedy. Armstrong had a real knack for the wiry and weedy it’s a signature in their later mid-century releases (Lemon Spice, Eiffel Tower, Taj Mahal, so many more). It has a higher centered bloom than either parent. It has weirdly small foliage.
