Sedona is one of my favorite roses in the garden. We live in inland bay area, Ca. z9b. The blooms have a strong scent. The first flush didn't have much fragrance, but every flush since that spring one, has been strong. The flushes are frequent. The character of the fragrance isn't sharp, but, rather, deep, rosy-pear-like, yummy. The flowers are very beautiful, deeper orange on the outer petals, somewhat apricot toward center early in the bloom, deepening as the flower ages to an even reddish orange, not brash at all. It blends well in our flower bed near Bronze Star, Rouge Royale, Day Breaker, William Shakespeare, even Scepter d'isle. There is a somewhat ruffly form to the blooms, the largest of the flowers are about 4.5 inches, lots of petals. The blooms seem to glow. They hold their shape well.

The bush is about 4x2, bought last spring from local nursery It has strong long stems, flowers 1 to a stem. The disease reisistant is good with an intermittant spray regime. There was a very small amount of rust early on, but after removing those few leaves, it never returned. No other disease noted. New leaves are reddish, which look attractive next to the orangy blooms.
