cooketts emails: We have a prolific blooming 'American Pride' and according to the "Combined Rose List" it is only available in India at the current time. The scent though is not strong (as you list) at all but a subtle rose fragrance. This could also be to our climate or fertalization, but it never had a heavy or strong scent. It's only fault is weak necks for such a big bloom.
