This is the most remontant rose among my 30+ varieties, it always blooms with multiple heads, the color does fade, but I still think the color to be very elegant and charming.
and the blooms holds well for more than 10 days.
the remontance and durability ensure that I always have some flowers to enjoy~
the only shortside to me is that it almost has no fragrance at all.(I am such a fan of frangrance)

btw, if any one have good suggestion for remontant strong-fragrant rose, please tell me :D

Sadly, perpetual repeat and high fragrance is usually genetically contradictory in roses that gain their repeat from china roses, which tends to me most modern roses not descending from rugosas.

Geoff Hamilton will get 3 flushes max per growing year, IF it is pruned immediately after each flush. That's about as good as it gets for short, very fragrant, and recurrent.

Some roses can get around this by perpetually growing and blooming, but they tend to be very massive in size, and they're mostly relying on their ability to grow into blooming stages while simultaneously manufacturing a ton of energy through their ever-expanding foliage canopy and massive root systems.

But most don't want these types anymore, because land is too expensive.

Hahahahhh, I certainly agree with you that those roses with good remontance seem to be massive in size( blooming is an activity that consumes much energy, which needs to be produced by the foliage), and the comment that they are not popular now because land is expensive is especially true to me as I'm from CHINA, even owning a balcony in my rented room is kind of a luxuary.

BTW, your comment about Geoff Hamilton is interesting, it's a very good-looking rose to me, but I heard from many people that grow it that it does not have much fragrance, so it's interesting to hear you say that it is very fragrant, could you give me more description on that? and could you compare its fragrance intensity to some other fragrant roses?:D

It's always very strong in fragrance here. My plant of it is about 11 years old. I dislike the scent type, but women in family and friends tend to like it. It's one of those older scents. Like baby powder, old cream, anise, etc.

My favorite scents are the strong fruit and tea types, and its not that kind at all. Quite the opposite.

I personally do not like the anise scent either.(which most david austin roses have...)

I prefer the old rose fragrance like the fragrant cloud, or the Fredric Mistral. Citrus fragrance like Golden celebration is also good~ (I look forward to own Jude the Obscure and Lady Emma Hamilton due to their reputation of good fruit fragrance)

A cut rose called Pink O'Hara have very strong fragrance and very long durability, and good remontancy!! I highly recomend it!

thank you for your info on GH's fragrance. What other fragrant roses do you like?

Royal Sunset, even though the plant is really poor here. Smells so good. Sparkle and Shine smells super nice. Much stronger than Sunsprite, but it's a tender rose.

This is a hard question. Most of my roses are seedlings now.

I once had a seedling that made me sick. It was Solitaire x Shocking Blue. I put some inside and the fragrant oils were so strong in the air that I woke up with my eyes burning from an allergic reaction lol.

Renaissance smells quite nice. Very clean, sweet scent. Easy to grow, too.

The missing on Scarlet moss smells like cinnamon. Another favorite.

You may need to buy cut flower from the flower stores and then plant the cuttings, usually cut rose varieties does not sell as pot plants. I remember I saw a lot of cut flower shops sell Pink O'Hara( when I was in Italy)and I also saw it on online cut flower ordering websites.

Michael, I've seen 'Pink O'Hara' on many websites, but never a hint of a breeder, or a date.

DELfumros

Date: 2011-11-30
Type/Breed: -
VBN Code: 110801
Description: Rosa 'Delfumros'
Registrant: Florimer BV

Breeder : Georges Delbard
Plant name : Delfumros


some sources are saying White O'Hara is the same rose as Free and Loyal, with the same name code and breeder as Free and Loyal, as well as being the same breeder as Pink O'Hara.

None are patented as far as I can find. Florist and florist pot mini roses are honestly a pain to find sources for :[

Excellent yellow rose. Beautiful leaves, completely healthy and flowers non-stop. The only negative is that the shape of the bush is perhaps not the best, nor is there any fragrance. Flowers last moderately long in large clusters. Does get pink edges in colder weather. Can ball after lots of rain. All in all, a great, healthy and easy rose.

Has anyone had experience with Golden Border as a parent? Is there any usable pollen?

I couldn't say about the pollen as I haven't tried to use any, but my plants set hips readily.

Thanks Melissa!
Have you had any germinations yet from those hips, any nice offspring?

Beautiful rose! I saw it growing in the fields at Eurodesert Roses in June and brought one home--liked it so much I emailed Cliff Orent and got the other plant he had of it. Covers itself top to bottom in blooms (old fashioned in shape), which are VERY fragrant, plus it is nearly thornless. How nearly thornless? I found ONE thorn on that first plant. I now can't find that one thorn. Its growth shape is more narrow and upright (vase-shaped), about 1 1/2 to 2 feet tall in Southern California. Clean foliage. Sturdy canes. Excellent healthy looking root system. Flowers are a lemony yellow. Not really gold in the tone. Does not get pink edges like some yellow roses.
