This is my 3 year old Burlesque. It is a lot taller than listed on Heirloom; mine is easily 7 feet tall; It does not mind hard pruning in the Spring to keep it shorter. My pictures are taken in full sun, so the color is more deep mauve; in the evening near dusk, its color can become dark purplish as shown on Heirloom. Fragrance: Burlesque has a deep and warm, very attractive fragrance.

In the first year, my Burlesque produced blooms that are more dark pink and white stripes, which is totally different than the picture on Heirloom. You can see in the picture, that it has streaks of white. I was disappointed; but its fragrance is so attractive, so I wanted to wait for it to be more mature.

The color of the blooms in the third year is a lot deeper and darker; at times it does look like the picture on Heirloom.

I had always loved its fragrance; its beauty grows in me. Especially when the color 'dotted' to accentuate other ligher color (peach, or cream) around; it gives the depth of your garden when look from far. I strongly recommend Burlesque.
