I see only one seller listed, and it is in Russia. Does anyone know of a means of purchasing this rose in the United States?

'Heritage' is not a very satisfactory garden plant, being prone to mildew and the blooms shatter in the slightest breeze, but it seems to have been very productive in breeding.

Sweet intoxication was purchased from J&P as a fall container rose. So this would be its first season. Although the bush is very young, it is a heavy bloomer. It is already full with buds and has a few blooms on it. The smell mimemicks the name, it is a very sweet smelling rose. It is resistant to mildew and gets some blackspotting but very little. Winter hardy for zone 6 PA with mulch protection. I will give you a update on her growth habit over this growing season.

Any update on growth habit. Still spreading vs upright? Thanks!

Grows similar to Oh My! Not exactly but mostly. Big n' chunky -- between mounding and upright.

The advanced search option doesn't really work. I am searching for any purple rose with a strong citrus fragrance. The first rose that came up on the 39 page list had a strong clover fragrance. I have been having this problem a lot. Any suggestions?

The ADVANCED SEARCH on HMF does not select fragrance for a rose by the fragrance notes that are often used in the descriptions, but only in the strength of the fragrance give by the breeder at the time of registration, or when they patent the rose.
To narrow your search, since you are a premium-member of HMF, you can add a few other plant characteristics. For example, you might want to add "class" to your search criteria. You could also add "introduced after, let's say, 1950 and that would narrow the search by setting a time period.
It takes a bit of practice to learn how to narrow a search, but once you get into it, I find it's kind of fun.
Smiles,

nbate,
Just a progress report. We've been able to replicate the issue you reported. It's always very helpful when someone provides a precise example. On the surface it appears the fragrance type (ie citrus) is being ignored. The Advanced Search is quite complex software so it may take a little time to sort out the problem, hopefully not. We'll let you know when we have it corrected.

SB is very hard to find these days. The last business I ordered it from sent 'Deep Purple'. I considered getting SB from Roses Unlimited, but without a photo to show its the real one, I wasn't willing to shell out the bucks. Sadly, its just become one of those roses mislabeled with others.
