Granat blues badly with me and colour was never lively.  I gave it to a neighbour out in the open and it has been much better there.  It is remarkably free and sweet and is a good grower.

Mr. N. E. Hutchinson, of Claremont, W.A.
My experience of Granat is that it is a very desirable garden Rose viewed from any angle. The single bush I have, has so outgrown other varieties planted at the same time that it has the appearance of being established twice as long. Now occupying an area of 5 ft. x 5 ft. (approximately), Granat has very floriferous bursts of blooming. Early spring and late autumn flowers are not so dark as the midsummer blooms which are dark red, overlaid with a nearly black sheen. This is so evenly distributed one gets the impression that the black has been sprayed on. The texture is velvety and in the bud stage Granat is often of exhibition quality. Petals are numerous and the full blooms fully decorative until the end. Granat stands heat that ruins most summer red Roses. The foliage is healthy and the growth free and vigorous with an upright spreading habit. It is one of the most admired Roses in my garden. I bought on catalogue description and have never regretted it.

Mr. C. W. Heers, Manly, Queensland.  Outstanding Varieties in Queensland
Granat, a well shaped dark red of medium size, produced singly on long stems, strong open growth; must become popular as a garden variety.

I like Granat, its medium-sized blooms being much more reliable than most of those blackish-crimson varieties, the majority of which blue badly and have long since been discarded.
