Perfume Delight blooming

11 years ago

This is the third season for this variety and they are finally setting on lots of blooms. It's been a dependable bloomer, but not as prolific as I like.

Sara-ann, I hope you don't mind my insertion of another photo. This rose was awful to capture its neon-like deep pink. This was as close as I could come and it's still not spot on. Picture the open flower as deep as the darkest petal on the top bud. Then add neon. Like rosecanadian's mine did not have exceptional vase life. Wicked thorns as I remember.

Really lovely!

Some roses just need a little longer to settle down and get established. Mostly, I give them them the benefit of the doubt because I just hate chucking out any plants.

Stunning!! Beautiful!!

I find with mine that it blooms at the beginning and the end of the season, and that the blooms blow fairly fast (and it's cooler here). If it weren't for the fragrance (mmmmmm...) and the beautiful color it wouldn't make the grade.

What do you find with yours?

Thank you everyone! Carol, I guess it does blow kind of fast, I guess I must enjoy the blooms and fragrance enough that it doesn't bother me that much. I think I have a sentimental attachment to this rose, I grow several roses for that reason.

Iris, your blooms are gorgeous, and I don't mind you inserting your photo at all.

Here's one from May.

Yeah, I agree, Sara-Ann, I've kept mine and love the blooms short-lived though they are. I'm ruthless as to what I keep and what I don't. So there is some magic to this rose.
