The mild, sweet fragrance is just like the description

I have a new plant of this rose, Cherries and Champaigne, and it has been showing lots of mildew this year in North Texas. Granted, I have not sprayed any fungicide yet, but it gets as much mildew as Dark Night and Sundowner. I have seen much less mildew on Flaming Peace and Kordes Perfecta has had none.

The bloom is very similar to Rosie O'Donnell. Blackspot resistance seems excellent for now.

Is HT the best designation for this rose? In the one photo, it looks very floribunda-ish, with small, charming flowers in a cluster.

Nastarana, the stated height is not very HT-ish, at 3-4', but who knows? Meilland is launching it as a HT, Star Roses has picked it up for the US distribution, and most likely that modest stature will increase in areas of the country with long growing seasons. I don't know about the size of the blooms, it isn't mentioned. I think they look HT-ish, but that's my opinion. The petal count is modest. I AM intrigued by the color. It could be a great rose, or just a novelty that won't stand the test of time. It's up to the rose growing public to determine whether it will last or not. The ARS Roses in Review program will be giving reports on this rose (as well as all the major releases) as we move forward.

Buds and peduncles remind me of Sweet Spirit, and some other DKO/KO descendants like Champion Red. Makes me consider if this is 2nd gen away from DKO/KO type. Foliage is super glossy, like many Meilland roses. Not much scent, according to the bio, too, which is disappointing. Actually the reason I didn't get it. I guess I expect scent with some color types.

Michael, you may be right about the DKO/KO lineage, I see that in the flower form as well (especially DKO). Plus that lineage seems to be rather ubiquitous in recent years, since the success (commercial, at least) of DKO/KO. Re: lack of scent, it seems like pretty much all of the commercial Bloom Machine style releases have little to no scent. Plus if the description states light or mild scent, you can pretty much count on it being absent entirely!
