I’ve never seen a single hip on Felicité Parmentier before. Amazingly, this year I got two hips with seeds when I pollinated it with Lynnie. It will be very interesting to see if any germinate.

HelpMeFind says this rose has a green apple fragrance, but Heirloom Roses says it has a lemon fragrance. Which is true?
I'd also like to hear more of people's experiences with this rose's disease resistance, bloom frequency, and heat tolerance.

I have had Praire Star one season. It was an own root plant planted in May of 2011. So far it has exhibited good growth, little blackspot, and blooms on a frequent bases. Plant growth is strong for first year planting. Very pleased with abundance of fragrance, compared to other rose. Fragrance is apple/green apple, strong when first opened, but fragrance fades longer the flower is on the bush.

Thank you for your reply. What climate zone are you in?
I'm curious: Does this rose actually smell like green apples to you, or like something else? In my experience, roses that supposedly have a "green apple" fragrance don't actually smell like green apples to me.

To my nose Prairie Star (or the rose I obtained from a German nursery as Prairie Star) has myrrh scent. According to lineage info this one doesn't have Austin's Yeoman in it's lineage, so either I have the wrong rose or my nose lies to me.

I think that depends upon the nose smelling it, as well as the age of the bloom and under what conditions. In 9b, mid California desert and to my nose, it impressed me as having almost a ripe grapefruit rind scent.

You are sure right, Kim. Just out of curiosity, how does Austin's Jude the Obscure smell to your nose? Because to mIne THAT is exactly grapefruit rind. :)

Thanks, Jukka. I've not smelled Jude and don't have easy access to one. Austins require far too much water to perform, so I have none.

I don't pick up any myrrh scent in JTO; otherwise I wouldn't grow it. I don't know Prairie Star.
