Just two opened flowers of this rose on the middle of the day in full sunlight give, a very good to notice, delicate scent, that carries for meters. In cooler weather it's hard to detect.
The colour is now of a deep bright pink, instead of the very pale(almost striped, off-white) pink of the last photo's, that I uploaded on the tenth of may this year.

In the winter its canes are beautifull purplish red.

And the winner of this Years prize for first flowering rose is: "Thérèse Bugnet"!!!
Almost 6 weeks earlier than last year, due to the abnormal high temperatures for april. Never recorded so high, since the beginning of notating the temperatures in The Netherlands.

The Montreal Botanical Garden recommends this rose as resistant to blackspot, powdery mildew, and rust:
