Henrique your roses are just beautiful & the photos are excellent, you have so many lovely varieties also, .... I notice you have a rose called 'Acapella' & I have a rose that looks identical as far as the flower & form goes, but on the notes it says it has a fragrant perfume & mine is a very mild perfume, also the leaves on mine are dark & glossy like a 'Peace' rose & it has about 50 petals.
I have placed a lot of photos on my page at Photobucket below which I have tentatively called 'Acapella' & I wondered if you'd mind giving me your opinion if you can spare the time ?, I'd be very grateful,
Thanks again for sharing all your lovely roses,
Kind Regards, Yvonne

Dear Yvonne,
After seeing your beautiful photos and considering the description of leaves, I think your rose is really ACAPELLA.
About fragrance, no problem, ''noses'' are not similar (experts opinions diverge,some ones have more difficulty to smell... and they allot mild fragrance, in the other extreme is the breeder with the maximum fragrance) and the number of petals can also vary.
Roses are very capricious, may be because are so beautiful.
Kind regards,
Henrique

Thanks for the nice compliments Henrique,
and thanks so much for confirming my Acapella, it is very much appreciated as I've been looking for an ID for a long time, I'm very grateful for you taking the time to compare it, ........ I really enjoy all your beautiful roses also, wish I had room for some of those varieties,
Thanks again,
Kind Regards, Yvonne

Henrique, your comment about noses being different was right on target. Add to that, fragrance is created by oils and alcohols which require specific humidities and temperatures to express. If it's too damp, too dry, too hot or too cold, or any combination of these variables, the fragrance may not express. Or, they may express intensely and evaporate so the variety appears scentless. When you consider all the possibilities, it seems a miracle that any two people would be able to perceive the same fragrance at the same time.

Kim, your explanation it was implicit in my comment but written by you is better. Anyway, I believe that our sense of smell can vary from people to people with some specific scents. Thanks. Henrique |
