'Honey Bouquet' rose Reviews & Comments

I just realized that the code name may be referring to Yellow Simplicity. Possibly the female parent, which would be in line for the theory that Yellow Simplicity is bred from Frieshonne.

I have had this rose for at least 6 years. It was one of the original regular roses I purchased as I used to be strictly into minis. It has been growing in a partially shady area (shade tolerant) with very little care. I am not on a strict fertilizing schedule and Honey Bouquet just carries on as a very healthy rose regardless. Very pest resistant (aphids and earwigs seem to ignore). Honey Bouquet can be surrounded by other plants suffering from rust and blackspot and for whatever reason, she is impervious. Blooms are generous in a brightly delicious butter with more of a golden honey centre. Foliage is thick and nice dark green. Fragrance is strong and delightful. Makes an excellent cut rose, easily lasting a week or more. It is BY FAR one of my all-time favourites. (One of Zary's best, I think).

Thank you for your review of Honey Bouquet. It's very helpful to hear of people's experiences with a particular rose. This one is going on the "wish list". I don't know where I'd put it at this time, but we'll see...

Got it this year and it just had it's first bloom today so may be a bit premature but it does seem the BS resistance is pretty high here as it's around quite a lot of it and unaffected (so far anyway).
maybe I spoke too soon...while it's not blackspot the plant is showing some sort of leaf disease now, possibly downy or anthracnose....something causing irregular browny green splotches.
on a tangent it's flower buds are very fuzzy/glandular, feels a bit like felt but isn't visible.

All of the mail order nurseries listed as selling Honey Bouquet" no longer carry it. Is anyone aware of other mail orders I could try?

Anyone see a tendency to climb on this?
I planted an own-root Honey Bouquet, which has only produced two canes, the original stem having died back as they were growing. Now one is two meters (~6.5') long with flowers towards the tip which are true to form and odor and in the correct color range for this cultivar, the other is over three meters (more than 10') long and hasn't flowered or produced laterals yet. I'm wondering if I have a sport.
The plant looks and flowers like a climbing Hybrid Tea.
