My own-root plant has been considerably larger than the listed 3'-4'. It is 10' tall at the age of 3 years in zone 9b.

NEW RELEASE 2005. ROSE OF THE YEAR 2006. A delightful new floribunda with magnificient trusses of sweetly fragrant flowers of creamy pink, with apricot centres. Growth is consistently excellent with strong glossy dark green leaves and exceptional levels of disease resistance. This is a superb variety that will be hugely rewarding when planted as a specimen or in groups of several together. 90cms.

Mine is pure white in eastern coastal zone 8. Something must be wrong with my nose because I cannot detect the fragrance. Otherwise it is a superb rose but it is a climber here, started out 6-7 ' in its first year, so we replanted very fast along the fence from the rose bed where it would have been in the first row as low growing floribundas should be. It is gorgeous and has exceptional disease resistance.

In fairness, the description of Champagne Moment was largely 'cut and pasted' from the breeder. However it is a magnificent rose.
Very healthy and to my nose, only a mild perfume. In the UK it will grow happily to about 3' 6" but no taller. The bloom is cream with an apricot centre but varies with conditions.
I would guess that in your weather conditions which are are better than ours, with higher temperatures than we get, it would get very tall. The sun could also account for the lighter (almost white) colouration.
It's still a great rose though, I wouldn't be without it.

Well, first of all if a plant is available from Palatine there is no reason on the earth to get it from Hortico.
Now, as to Caramel Antike and Caramel Fairy tale. I happen to have both. The HT Caramel Antike does not do that well in my garden, gets canker and dies back often but the few blooms I got were very beautiful; however I expected more of a rose that is supposed to be a florist rose. The floribunda Fairy tale, on the other hand is spectacular. I garden in zone 8, so the measurement by Kordes does not apply. This rose is 8 or 9 feet tall in my garden and about 7' wide and covered with huge blooms from top to bottom; the buds are rusty red, open into caramel and finish in creamy apricot yellow. Gorgeous! It has spotless foliage that is rare in the humid east coast. It even has some scent. I highly recommend it.

Caramel Fairytale sounds like the better garden rose. I notice from your profile that you are in the USA. It would be helpful to know where, aside from your USDA climate zone. It would help (me at least) put your growing experiences in better context.

Sorry for not mentioning that I garden in the very humid coastal east NC, zone 8. Blackspot and botrytis rule here, so I am very grateful for every rose that above that would not be touched by these fungal curses.

Thanks for filling in the picture. My father's family came from North Carolina, most of them settling in and around Rocky Mount. My uncle Worth, however, lived in Elizabeth City and also had a place in Nags Head. I have many happy memories, though now rather dim, of visiting there as a child. The beach was wonderful, and the fishing was amazing. I remember most the heat and humidity -- something a child growing up in San Francisco doesn't experience ever. It felt like "a jungle" to me as a child. It must present challenges for growing roses, especially with blackspot. I hadn't thought of botrytis! Good luck with your roses.
