The Parson is a beautiful thorny beast.

Thorny but beautiful! How do you like it, Hoang?

librarian, so fo so good, the most important thing is that it's not stingy like some other DA roses

Thoughts on fragrance?

oursteelers, medium fragrace so far

Hoang Ton: Among your many Austins, which one has the best bush beauty? Which one has the best scent? Which one has the most beautiful bloom? and which one has color that don't fade? Thank you. I appreciate your sharing the beauty of Austin roses with your videos. The new Austin catalog is boring, so your posts help me a lot, many thanks.

Oh no... now I think I HAVE to have this one too.

2nd Flush Updates

It looks more yellow & prettier !!

I think that the color are beautiful shades of yellow.

That is a beautiful rose.

Country Parson kindof looks similar to my Juliette Greco delbard rose

Oohh!! That's lovely!

I know it’s still so new but do you feel The Country Parson’s color saturation improved as it matured last year? I have a much shorter growing season and it was a continuous bloomer but the blooms always had a washed out appearance (hardly noticing any yellow at all) and it wasn’t self cleaning and so it looked pretty horrible last year. I’m debating on already finding a replacement vs hoping I’ll see an improvement this summer.

Dave, the color saturation stayed the same throughout 2022, don't know if its coming 2nd year will be any different or not, we'll see
