Hmmm, only a little bit of fragrance on this one here. Anytime they name something "Parfuma," I expect better. Marketing!

Agreed ... nice rose, but it's like the perfume didn't make it through customs.

Mine has a strongly developed plant now, so I'm going to see if having a larger root system has an affect on the fragrance or not (it does in some damask HTs). I'll try to remember to report back.

What is a "damask HT"?
REPLY
Reply #5 of 10 posted 9 JUN by Kim Rupert
I think Michael means HTs with Damask scent.

Sorry Damask HT is basically the darker red types with damask fragrance, or at least referred to as damask fragrance even if its not lol.

Tested the scent today. If I REALLY bury my nose in there, its moderate fragrance. The plant is very nice, and the blooms are pretty, but labeling it Parfuma is a stretch by Kordes in my opinion.

The soil has adequate water. The plant is healthy and robust. The blooms are large and full. The weather has been cool mornings and mid-80s afternoons. So there is no real reason for it not to be fragrant. I just think Kordes overstated the strength of scent. Or maybe they're really sensitive to that type of scent.

For those reading, I'd still buy it again. It looks romantic and its very healthy. But don't expect it to blow your nose away lol.

Edit: Days later, I tested it again. It rained yesterday and has been cool. Today, it was dry, cool and overcast. The scent was moderate and peach scented. As in the scent of cut peaches.

Contemplating getting this rose. How long do blooms last in a vase and on the plant? Thanks in advance.
REPLY
Reply #9 of 10 posted 7 days ago by Michael Garhart
Average length when on the plant, so I assume similar to average when cut.

A few of these roses in a vase will add fragrance to the entire room, its very powerful!

Update: This rose grows like a giant! The tallest cane is approaching 6ft, even after heavy winter pruning. Luckily it grows very upright and doesn't carry the flaw of flopping canes that many older DA roses have.

Update 2: Never seen so many buds on this rose for it's first flush. Seems to respond REALLY well to winter hacking and slashing down to 1-2ft

I think this is one of those roses that would benefit from summer pruning, which I'll try next summer. What seems to happen if left unpruned is that after the first flush, a few disproportionately long, almost naked canes will shoot to the sky, and a bloom or two will eventually spawn on the end. Doesn't exactly make for a pretty shrub but one look at the flowers and I can't imagine being without it.

I wonder if you’ve tried pinning those long canes with garden staples? Looping them down and pinning them will force those canes to be covered in blooms instead of just at the tip. My Wollerton Old Hall behaves in much the same manner.

Might this be a seedling of 'Evelyn'? The photos and description of scent and growth habit all remind me of 'Evelyn'.

Reply #3 of 8 posted 27 MAR 22 by OGRfairy
I was thinking the same. Or perhaps Eglantyne?

It's possible! The latest introduction from DA "Elizabeth" appears to have very similar foliage and flowers and seems to come from this breeding line too. Also thanks for the advice!

Of course! I’d be so interested to see how she responds to any pegging if you do decide to do that. After looking at your photos of her blooms I may have to try to add her to my collection next year. For some reason I had had it in my mind that she would resemble The Albrighton Rambler, and her blooms would be small and would bleach. The shading you captured in your photos is so lovely and complex with that beautiful hint of mauve.

per the US patent:
"The maternal and paternal parents of ‘AUSearnshaw’ are two unnamed seedlings. The new rose may be distinguished from its maternal parent, by the following combination of characteristics: the maternal parent is a shorter bush and has uniformly deep pink flowers compared to the soft pink, apricot-centered blooms of ‘AUSearnshaw’. The new rose may be distinguished from its pollen parent, by the following combination of characteristics: the paternal parent has a larger growth and its blooms are more cupped with fewer petals than ‘AUSearnshaw’."

according to this, Evelyn should not be a direct parent, but it could be in the lineage further back. Again, they could state whatever they want in the patent and nobody is going to check, so I guess we can not be sure that what they stated is the real lineage

This is so interesting; thank you! Recently DAR posted a photo of a rose on Twitter that they have developed specifically for breeding. It was the loveliest form and pale lavender color. I wish they would sell some of their breeding stock, because they are gorgeous in their own right!

Does any place sell this rose in the United States?

Never have seen it here. Why?

Reply #2 of 9 posted 22 AUG 22 by WillametteRose
It looks beautiful in the photos, I was hoping to find a nursery that carries it in the US to buy one, but I can't find it anywhere.

Peter Schneider, at Freedom Gardens, grows a number of Tantau roses, though I don't know if this is among them. He may be able to custom-propagate it for you, perhaps?

Thank you, I checked with him and he doesn't offer Pastella but I was able to order another beautiful Tantau rose (Mariatheresia) from him.

Will Mr. Schneider ship your rose, or do you need to travel to Ohio to pick it up?
REPLY
Reply #9 of 9 posted 11 days ago by WillametteRose
He ships roses (in my area I received them in November) but it can be a long wait for a custom propagation order.

There's an Italian company that ships bareroot roses to the US which has it. The website is en.roses.it. You have to email them to set up the shipment, but I know someone who has ordered from them and said they were very accommodating and easy to work with.

Nope! That company “tried” to ship to the US, but Customs has shut them down now. 6 shipments got confiscated in Cincinnati last week. (Ask me how I know, lol!)

en.rose.it has it! It's an Italian company, but if you're in the US, they do ship bareroot roses to the US if you contact them in advance.

Doesn't that still require postentry quarantine? That's a huge no for me, if so.

Reply #3 of 5 posted 12 days ago by Kathy Strong
They were ignoring those rules. A few shipments got through though.

Reply #4 of 5 posted 12 days ago by Margaret Furness
Ignoring international quarantine is also a huge no.
