Silver medal at Gifu International rose trials : gifu-wrg.jp/wp/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/23rd-Results2.pdf (synonym for Japanese market: Schönheit)

Having it in my testing garden for almost 3 years, all I can say is that it’s worthy of all the prizes received. Tantau created a Shrub-HT which gives an abundant flush of flowers in spring then continues to produce big, very double and fragrant flowers till late autumn without pauses in between, even under summer heat. The plant itself is erect and narrow like HT but as branchy as Shrub, thus doesn’t look like a typical HT nor a typical shrub rose. Good vase life too, around 6 days under normal temperature. The fragrance is complex and enchanting.
