'Olympiad ™' rose Reviews & Comments

HelpMeFind's future is in your hands - Please do not take this unique resource for granted.

Your support of HelpMeFind is urgently needed. HelpMeFind, like all websites, needs funding to survive. We have set a premium-membership yearly subscription amount as low as possible to make user-community funding viable.

We are grateful to the many members who have signed up so far, but the number of premium-membership members remains too small for us to sustain the current support and development level. If you value HelpMeFind and want to see it continue we need your support too.

Yearly membership is only $2.00 per month and adds a host of additional features, and numerous planned enhancements, to take full advantage of the power and convenience of HelpMeFind. Click here to start your premium membership..

We of course also welcome donations of any amount. Click here to make a donation. Donations of $24 or more receive a thank-you gift of a 1-year premium membership.

As far as we have come, we feel HelpMeFind is still in its infancy. With your support we have so much more to accomplish.

I had fond memories of Olympiad as I grew it as a kid. I planted one this past spring and had hoped for greatness because my other red hybrid tea I have, Chrysler Imperial, isn't my favorite. Well...I'm not as fond as Olympiad as I used to be. Is it a good red rose, honestly. But, it's smaller than I remember. There's no scent. It makes a good cut rose as they last a while in a vase, but there are better reds. Now, is it inherently worse than Chrysler Imperial that I have? Nope...but at least CI smells good!

My Olympiad has barely any fragrance or possibly none at all. Is it because of the heat in our tropical climate? Also, what's the darkest red Olympiad can get? I had a bloom that had dark edges once. I dunno what caused it.

Olympiad has never been for fragrance. It's a cuttable garden red, that grows in a lot of places. The darker red rim usually happens when it is quite cool. Olympiad can become pink-ish when it is really hot.

Pretty shade of red, not very vigorous though. A nice calm slow growing rose for me. No fragrance, however very pretty form and alone on a long stem. We will see how they do this spring and summer after this very cold winter, here in Denver.
