Huge purple/mauve/reddish blooms on long stems born one at a time. Excellent cut flower. Fragrance (fruity-sweet-old rose) is second to none and I have 40 something extremely fragrant varieties. Best of all it loves even zone 8 Texas heat and is one of the only flowers here that blooms in 105 degree temps. Very little black spot and no other disease problems. I highly recommend!

I agree! This is so far my very favorite rose---the blooms are absolutely gorgeous! The color just stands out and the fragrance is wonderful!! I live in the middle of Kansas, and it thrives in the sun, and even in our stiff, clay soil. Mine only tends to blackspot after all others have had theirs, and then not very much. I debated for a long time before I purchased this one from Edmonds, and I will never regret it!!!

My fragrant apricot did poorly for two years and I nearly spaded it. Then it took off the third year and produces clusters throughout the season. Summers here (Texas zone 8) hit up to 110 degrees and it still blooms. Mine gets only three hours of morning sun per day. Black spot is moderately bad, but easily controlled with spray. The fragrance is very, very strong and classic damask. It also does well in a vase for a floribunda. Buds are high centered and blooms average 4". Very healthy and vigorous.

Vigorous growth, beatiful foliage, extremely disease resistant, wonderfull strong fragrance of green apples/clove. Flowers do not last long in vase and it doesn't flower much in Texas style summer heat, but spring and fall flushes are to die for. Highly recommended.

This is an absolutely marvelous rose. Huge purple/red/mauve blooms on long straight stems. Best of all it loves the heat even here in zone 8 Texas. It blooms in spurts all through the summer including 105 degree Augusts. The fragrance is second to none and I have 40 something other highly fragrant varieties to compare to. My plant is only three years old but is already 6 feet high and has been extremely vigorous and quite disease resistant.
