I love the look of this rose, but I was disappointed with its total lack of fragrance. I knew it wasn't going to be a knock-you-over scent, but I smelled absolutely nothing from it this year. It's a new rose to my garden though, so I'm hoping it gets at least something by next year. Still a beautiful flower and a very healthy bush. A keeper even without fragrance, which is usually my first priority.

Almost as glorious as its mom, "Tuscany". Only thing that's less good is you don't see the beautiful boss of golden-yellow stamens as well.	REPLY

I grow Tuscany and Tuscany superb in heavy soil and an open garden with full sun. It grows fast and blooms great. I'm very fond of the flowers which have a unique colour, but no fragrance in my experience. It tends to sucker a bit, not as much as President de Seize of Charles the Mills. The plant is pretty well behaved, without too much extreme canes hanging over. Since I also grow vegetables in my garden, I need to confine my roses to their designed space. This one is one of the more managable Gallica's. I'm still experimenting with pruning, in early spring of after blooming. Last year In left them unpruned in spring and I got pretty log canes in June. Next season (Spring 2008) I wil prune early and see how that works out. This rose is strong and healthy so experimenting won't hurt it. By the way: I see no difference between Tuscany and Tuscany superb. Both are superb!
