I just took delivery of a plant of 'Crazy Fashion' from Palatine. I swooned over the pictures and decided to take a chance on being able to keep it alive. What can anyone here tell me about this most beautiful rose?

I saw this rose today in the Rosarium of Winschoten.
It badly balls in rain, but the scent is "to die for".
Foliage: just a little of Black-spot... unlike lots of roses this summer.

After two very rainy summers the blooms have yet to ball. They can brown along the edges of the petals but I think it's because they last so long. They have one of the best full petal forms and a pleasant hard (for me) to categorize fragrance.

Nastarana, Do you have any updates on how this rose did for you? I'm curious to know as I'm intrigued by the coloration. Also, where are you located geographically?

It did very well in its first year following spring planting. However, it froze to the ground during our relatively mild last winter and took a long time to recover. I mostly don't winter protect. I have to conclude it is no more than crown hardy in zone 5. I do believe it would do very well indeed in the warmer zones. The flowers are gorgeous and the foliage mostly disease free until late in the season when BS rampages throughout our area.

This rose is impossibly bright and vibrant. Blooms in clusters of rich neon orange in a velvet texture. They don't fade much but do turn more neon red with age before fading at the late end of the bloom. They grow fast and well but will need blackspot protection if you live n a humid place or have odd springs that quickly switch between warm and cool. Flowers are up to 3.5 inches across usually in lovely clusters. A good spring pruning greatly boosts this plants vigor. Potted in Zone 7a and doing well going on 5 years. I spent years looking for one and my first bush was pitiful. Years later I found a seller and bought 5. I love this plant and hope it keeps in collection for generations to come. This rose is stunning and would make a nice hybridizer to get some good oranges.

If you like it you shoudl check out Salita, which may be related to it. Same eye-bleed red-orange coloration, but bigger, fatter blooms.

Good Morning
I have an 8ft Salita. Thats a great recommendation, I Absolutely love it. My particular one is a little less neon vibrant at the Brillant but you are correct they are fatter. I have a big collection of orange roses I plan on adding my pics and 2cents on here. Something about that color is just spectacular on a rose for me.

You’ll probably also like ‘Ring of Fire’.

so I got what was labeled as orange flare and its bloomed out somthing completely different. the general consensus is its actually ring of fire and I LOVE it. the whole plant is beautiful and the flowers are huge with perfect form. It's not as vibrant or shocking as brillant but definitely high up on my favorites for sure. I plant buy a few more ROF to do a mass planting once I move. Thanks for the suggestion that ended up in my collection anyway. :)
