as it unfurls, already has a rose scent.

we have it right by the door to the deck and you get a whiff as soon as you walk outside.

Here is the size of the 1st bloom which fell off today....opened 5 days ago at least. Get one! roxanne

Looks amazing as it opens up! Just picked one up from Emerson a couple weeks ago cant wait!

meant to post...that is a quarter...1st bloom always the biggest? roxanne

Cstars Lilyanna....same as Vera Cruz Rose???? Because I have them both and even though the scent is the same, the size and quality of the flower are mils apart. I bought Vera Cruz Rose from Matthew at Island Plumeria and it is FABULOUS! This is the 1st time in 4 years that Lilyanna has bloomed and the are on the same deck together and so small and problems .

Looks awesome and heard the scent is wonderful. I have one but not doing too good right now. Had a soft tip so I cut and keeps dying back. Hopefully she will turn around!

The Vera Cruz Rose bloom is beautiful! I bought some VCR seeds from Brad's early last year, and although I know they won't be exactly the same, I'm excited to see the blooms in a couple of years. I'm probably even more excited to smell them. In your pictures, the bloom just looks like it smells good.

Gorgeous, Roxanne!
I've smelled Laura's bloom

Peg, looking forward to meeting you and hope it is still blooming....roxanne

Roxanne, I'm looking forward to meeting too and of course smelling the blooms.

Roxanne- how big are the blooms on your Lilyana? I have a no ID, Cstars Costco special that just bloomed. It smells like roses and looks like yours, but the blooms are small, about the size of a half dollar.

Yes, the Lilyanna I have from them is not NEAR as big as the Vera Cruz Rose I have from Island Plumeria and yet the tree is a couple of years older. Smells the same though but gets brown on petals easy and not as big. roxanne

My ever blooming Vera Cruz Rose, from Island Plumeria, has thrown out 2 mosaic patterns. Is this normal, kind of cool???? roxanne

I sure wish that the one I have would bloom. I think I have had it for 4 years and so far no flowers. Thanks for the pictures. Barb
