After observing and comparing this rose and Julie Andrew all year long, it is apparent they are related. My estimate is that they are both hybrids of Lasting Love, a rose know to throw bicolors and moody colors, as well as reds. I am guessing the other parent is an older Delbard floribunda in the yellow/bicolor/apricot blend spectrum. When the blooms of Esprit de Paris age, they take on a a pretty mauve tone, which can happen in some Lasting Love hybrids. I think Julie Andrews is also a Lasting Love hybrid, but probably with a large-flowered rose in the yellow/bicolor and apricot blend spectrum. I like them both. I think Esprit ages in a more pretty fashion, whereas JA can wash out when its hot out. Both are good garden performers in the summer rebloom category. I prefer Esprit De Paris though, because the fragrance is strong and unique, and the blooms age more elegantly. hey both have foliage like mirrors, which I assume would come from Lasting Love.

It smelled especially strong today. Not sure what the scent was but it was an uncommon one. Raspberry or berry mix? Smelled good to me.

Honestly loving this one over typical Austin roses.
I have stated this else, but I will clarify here:
Pink Paradise, by the same breeding house, is of a similar color, with similar glossy foliage, but here are the key differences:
Pink Paradise is upright and taller, the leaflets are pointed, and the bloom form is a classic tea shape.
Esprit de Paris is short and has definite wide clusters, the leaflets are rounded, and the bloom form is informal, full, and round.
