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"?

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.

Average length when on the plant, so I assume similar to average when cut.

Thank you for answering my question! I was puzzling over how he got the red central blotch w/o Hulthemia genetics and I could not figure out where it came from in the Halo series. Thanks again for clearing that up!

You're welcome! I'm glad I could help clear that up for you. Mr. Moore theorized that the mauve petal base of Anytime was an adulterated red. He bred Anytime with Angel Face to intensify and enlarge the mauve base then began crossing with others to reduce the "blue", intensify the red and fix that trait as more likely to be gained through breeding. That required a bit of self crossing, and it worked! The most "Hulthemia-like" was Halo Sunrise which contains the cross of Anytime X Angel Face three times with two doses of Gold Badge to pick up the yellow.

I've been fascinated with crossing roses since I was a kid and the "what will this do" is exciting for me! Any explanation that helps me understand the genetics better is a plus. My first "what will happen" was this spring when I sprouted rose seeds I gathered from my garden. My first to bloom is a polyantha or mini that is always in bloom even in part shade. It is scented and has a teeny button eye often with a green pip in the middle. It's such a cute little rose and just makes me happy!
