I purchased tiffany last season form a local home depot it was a potted plant. It had some issues with B.S. but i worked with it. I really thought tiff was not going to make it through the zone 6 winter. But she has taken off, she required very little prunning even though i didnt give much winter protection(little mulch). This rose has been very winter hardy to zone 6. Tiff is a vigorous grower, a must have.

Here is a classic and wonderful Hybrid Tea. Blooms are certainly pretty and deliciously fragrant. It is a good grower and has great disease resistance especially for a hybrid tea. Only VERY minor blackspot for me during most favorable weather and I can say thats with NO spraying. Amazingly clean for its clan. Havent seen mildew at all. Decent rebloom. Tender in my zone, I provide winter protection. Still among the very best of all H.T. roses. Also an excellent parent of many notable roses.

I love my Tiffany rose - it's magnificent, but I'm not smelling what everyone is smelling. Does it take a while for it to become fragrant? Mine is three years old. Are you feeding it something to make your roses more fragrant? I'm just perplexed. I love this rose, but I really would love it to have more fragrance. My Oklahoma rose makes me swoon when I sniff it.

I find roses have different fragrance intensities depending upon weather, age of bloom and time of day. Tiffany always smells strongest and best to me early in the day or in somewhat cooler temeratures...spring and fall usually, instead of mid summer afternoon heat. In many roses , even notably fragrant ones like Fragrant Cloud, high heat and strong sun evaporate that fragrance off. Some roses are more reliably fragrant than others as a rule. There are so many variables that go into fragrance, even the perception of the nose doing the smelling! I find roses that other people describe as "powerful" or "strong" to barely register, and I find others to be more fragrant than usually described. If you grow a lot of roses, you'll likely find the same thing. That being said...Tiffany is not the most powerful scent in my opinion, its reliably there, but not as powerful as your Oklahoma...of which I am also a fan. Damask fragrances tend to be powerful, as are myrrh fragrances in some of the Austins. Tiffany is more of a blend of fragrances, instead of dominated by one key scent. I grow my Tiffany in a large container, give it plenty of water...which helps a lot, and fertilize with basic rose fertilizer in spring and summer. Some deliciously fragrant roses that I grow include Oklahoma...of course, with that damask power! Intrigue,with a strong, citrusy blend of scents and reliable. Fragrant Cloud, which is powerful, but the scent varies greatly and is fleeting in heat. Sharifa Asma, a very clean and pleasant smell, always strong. Tamora...for fans of myrrh, this one packs a punch! Prairie Sunrise, which is deliciously complex and heavenly. Tiffany, Maria Stern, which is decently strong and unique, Climbing Peace, very pleasant and reliable moderate tea scent, Blue Girl, one of my personal favourites, with a wonderful blend of scent...old fashioned rose almost. Hansa, great scent, but blooms do not last long. Double Delight, not a great plant as for disease or hardiness, but a strong smeller. I hope my long-winded response helped you out at least a little! Good luck!

I loved your long winded post. I think that I'm beginning to see your point - one must test a rose to "nose" how the scent reacts personally with one's nose ;). I still love Tiffany even if her scent is mild. I'll check out the roses you mentioned. I've held off from getting DD because I live near the ocean and hear that it's not that hardy. Through hours of research and sniffing, I'm going to purchase the following for disease hardiness, scent and cut flowers:
-- Memorial Day
-- Veteran's Honor (they say it doesn't have a scent, but it has a wonderful raspberry scent, perfect blooms, disease resistant and lasts so long in a vase.
-- Bella Roma

If I go with one more, I may take a chance on Osiana...I'm hearing good things about it. If/when I move and I can see my rose bushes versus having them in the back and only cutting them for vases then I'll consider Austins and other English roses.

Pam,
I know some folks who live very near the ocean (within 50 yards) who grow Double Delight with no problem; in fact I have admired their rosebush for years. I notice they have it in full sun, in a raised bed that offers plenty of air circulation. I think that's the secret. Our soil here tends to be soggy and full of rocks and clay....so a massive raised bed can overcome the problems. The same family even raises foxglove!
Hope this is helpful :)

Just a couple of comments: Double Delight is perfectly hardy here ... and I far prefer it to Bella Roma and Tiffany, far more scent (yes, I did read what you said ...!) and a much more beautiful bloom ... And yes, do put Double Delight in full sun if you can.

I am trying to locate a rose called "Tiffany" I live in UK and would like to purchase.
Any ideas?

Tiffany seems readily available in France, but no seller in the UK - strange. I checked the Combined Rose List for possible UK suppliers not listed on HMF, but there is none, unfortunately.
