This is probably the best smelling rose in the last few years from DA. But it's not stable - only newly open blooms smell strong and usually require a humid warm day. Scent is delish - citrus with musk and fruits, reminds me of Emma hamilton a bit. It gives lots of flowers and they do last a few days, but get shattered by the rain quite quickly. I think it's a must. And it doesn't look like Emily Bronte in real life, Emily looks more like Elizabeth.

mine smells strongly of earl grey tea with a fruity undertone. really nice smelling rose.


*edit: meant to post that below. i'll report back at the end of the season if it sets hips. many DAs are not sterile. i have hips right now on james galway, lady of shalott, winchester cathedral, st swithun, graham thomas...

I had a lot of expectation on that rose . I like the rose But I can not detect any fragrance ? For a rose that is suppose to have a strong fragrance? May be it will improve with age, will see....
