Funny because scent is so variable on some roses. At the Dothan Area Botanical Gardens, I smelled this rose and it had a moderate, sweet scent. Not intense but definitely there.

I only recently noticed a fragrance in Plum Perfect. It is a young plant, only it’s second growing season in my garden, so I don’t know if it’s because it’s maturing, or the weather is cooler, or some other factor. I did sniff the blooms often, and was disappointed until now with fragrance. I would not describe it as a strong fragrance, but mild to moderate. The blooms are lovely, and the plant has been healthy in this area of high black spot pressure

I picked up a Fragrant Blush plant at a lovely visit to Antique Rose Emporium nursery last August, when it impressed me by blooming so generously in the broiling Texas summer there. The fragrance is fabulous.
It was unfazed by the seventeen hour drive to Colorado, and a two week “vacation” there, followed by another eighteen hour drive to get home. I planted it in-ground here in SW Ohio where it didn’t miss a beat. After a vole attack and zone 6 winter without snow cover, it is blooming and growing.
