I have a strong feeling 'Black Caviar' is the same as 'Astrid Gräfin von Hardenberg' from Tantau's Nostalgic Roses collection. See: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.456959564384089.1073741828.425937834152929&type=3
The 'Black Caviar' label states it is a dark burgundy rose with black/purple edges and a lighter centre. The label states that it won a medal for the most fragrant rose in trial in New Zealand and 'Astrid Gräfin von Hardenberg' won this award in NZ in 2010. The photo on the label is a dead match with online photos of 'Astrid Gräfin von Hardenberg'. The label also states that ot won a gold medal in Concorso, Italy. This website: http://dictionary.sensagent.com/Rosen%20Tantau/de-de/ states 'Astrid Gräfin von Hardenberg' won a gold medal in Concorso in 2002.

I've emailed Knight's Roses for confirmation.

I purchased this rose based on all the hype around "Black Caviar" and then I read the reviews from Germany on German Gardening Forums on A. G. von H. There she is often referred to as "the b#tch". (Thankyou google translate)
Well growing it has confirmed, for me at least, that this is an inferior rose that should not have been released into commerce in Australia. Awful sickly fragrance that does not last to the end of a warm day, flowers that burn and scold even in mild Spring sunshine, ... need I continue.

His fragrance is very strong, sweet and spicy, but not similar to a lemon one at all.
