Has great long lasting raspberry fragrance, very good full form when first opens and after a very rainy summer, very little blackspot.

Ooh! Thanks for the info. I was thinking I wouldn’t want this one since the website said just mild fragrance.

After seeing your photo and reading the J&P description, I'm not sure if the rose I had wasn't mislabeled. The rose I had while full, looked more hybrid tea though not high centered with velvety dark red petals. Sadly after a mild winter(only down to 0F) it started to grow and then quit. I'll have to try again and see what I get.

Based on the code, pollen parent is Oh My!, which I think is best red Florrie out there now.

And plausibly Grand Dame, considering the codename, form, and slightly larger bloom size.
