Clearly I need to redesign the garden to fit at least 10 Sidonie bushes in it now!

The fragrance is permeating the air in my house...I'm so in love!

Beautiful. I love all those folded petals in the middle. Still no sign of buds on mine. I'm going to repot it this weekend and see if I can find a sunnier spot for it.

Wow, unique bloom form. I wish I had more space.

What is the fragrance like?

So true, Ingrid. In my small garden, there are so many beautiful roses I can't grow due only to lack of space. There are, of course, other things that prevent adding more roses, but space is a big consideration.

Pippa, go for it! Get 10 more. Sidonie is beautiful, and opened so quickly for you. The scent sounds luscious. Diane

Totoro the fragrance to me is old fashioned rose lotions and soaps from France.

It may be my imagination but I think it opened more while I was outside. It must be thanking me for finding it on the ground and bringing it in lol.

The beauty of roses!! Thanks for sharing. Absolutely heavenly!

This is a Sidonie bloom still on the plant...it's laying on the ground with its weight lol.
