Re: parentage, according the Jackson & Perkins catalog/web site it's a cross of Melodie Parfume'e and New Zealand.

Have you had a chance to smell it? -It's parent "Melodee Perfume" is one of my favorite rose scents, but is said to be "stingy" in blooms after initial spring flush. J&P claims it has a great scent, but doesn't go into much detail. --I'm weighing it against "Sweet Intoxication" (also with Melodee P. parentage). Given Intoxication's 40 member "excellent" rating, it might be the better choice!

I have grown this for several years and the scent is very strong, on par with other heavily scented lavender roses

How has this rose performed for you with respect to disease resistance, bloom quantity, and bloom frequency? Thanks!

RVR lists this rose as being very shade tolerant. Does anybody have experience with this? Thanks.

How would one go about getting their hands on this beauty? And by 'one', I mean 'me'.

You'll have to ask Straw.

I'm letting her take the lead on this one.

Wonderful colors on this rose. Scent is wonderful. Definitely clove, but has a subtle fruity, raspberry scent behind the clove. Everyone always seems to love seeing this one in vase.

Gorgeous in a vase but doesn't last long.
