Emmanual....just wow......I could reach out and take it! Is it fragrant?

Emanuel is a wow. Beth, does it bloom more than once a year for you? HMF reads "occasion repeat later in the season."

Crap... I feel terrible you guys. I have SWEET JULIET right next EMANUEL. All these yrs I've been mixing the two up! I just discovered, after looking at the actual plants and my schematic layouts... The second picture of the beautiful bloom with the buds around it.. is actually SWEET JULIET. The first photo with CHRISTOPHER MARLOWE in the background is in fact EMANUEL. Their coloring is so similar and the two plants sort of intermingle together, so it gets confusing. SWEET JULIET is the rose that grows big and healthy and blooms fairly decently. EMANUEL is a much smaller plant, almost hidden under SJ's big bush. Doesn't repeat as well. Sorry for the confusion. I'll have to go check fragrance on SJ... and EMANUEL.

Beth, thanks for the update. If you only had a couple of rose bushes that probably wouldn't happen. lol

You know I love this thread. Love me some DA roses and yours are perfect. Just beautiful!! Judy
