'Olivia Rose Austin ®' rose Reviews & Comments

This has been an excellent rose for me this year. Purchased bare root from Austin USA in 2016, it has been covered in blooms from spring to fall, very healthy and nicely shaped, dense leaves. I spray fungicide, but Olivia might be good for a no spray garden. A drawback is lack of scent. Hopefully that will develop. Even so, it's a keeper.

Year two, still no scent.

Mine has a pleasant old rose scent, but not a strong one. It's interesting that the latest Austin handbook/web info lists the fragrance as "light-medium" instead of the "strong" it used to claim (see the description right here on the intro page for this rose). But it's a wonderful, healthy rose and makes a great cut flower (unlike most Austins).

Thank you! I should add that I do not spray it, and in my garden (west coast - Vancouver area, temperate and rainy), it has shown no hint of disease.
