Fragrance holds up even in 104F weather, as does the color. So it seems unphased by heavy rain or high heat. This is Oregon at 300 ft above sea level though, so our 104F may not be as UV intense as 104F in the south. However, this still fries others in the garden.

I bought this rose because I was tired of how awful Austin reds were. Didn't bloom. Mildew. Blackspot. Giant plants. PLANNED SCARCITY. And so on. It was a good gamble.

Primary color is wine purple. Auxiliary colors are wine violet and wine crimson. Scent is very strong. Old rose and fruit fragrance.
