'Nuage Parfumé ®' rose Reviews & Comments

Amazingly fragrant, a mix of old rose with lemon and citrus, very beautiful colar(red with orange tone, vermillion?), the form is also good with decent amount of petals.
the only weak point is that it seems to be not very generous in the quantity of blooms, maybe because mine is still at its first year? lets wait for its next year.
not very good as cut flower.

Fragrant Cloud was introduced in Australia by Hazlewood Bros Pty Ltd in 1965 as "Duftwolke"

...and other nurseries as well in that year. So I don't really know who was the first official introducer. See the 1965 reference.
I don't suppose you have a copy of the Hazlewood 1965 catalogue do you Geoffrey? The last one I have is 1964.

G'day Patricia, No, I don't have a catalogue, but someone I was chatting to said that they did and it showed up in theirs. The problem with roses imported back then was that there were many nurseries importing various roses and renaming them as well. Makes things interesting when trying to research their provenance :)

Considering the testimony of Chill Out! Roses in the thread about Typhoo Tea, perhaps the hardiness rating for FC could be revised? I have also known FC to grow back after a zone 5 winter. It is not cane hardy, but the roots do seem to survive. My plant is grafted, but it was FC itself which returned in spring, and not the infamous doctor.

I had a FC I inherited with thhis house in 2014.....had a lot of rust and few flowers...moved to a new and clean soiled pot, not much change
I just shovel pruned it, went to nursery, got a new bare root one, will see if this one is less diseased. I hope so, i sure love the frangrance!
