I find that this rose smells like hyacinths, a fragrance I don't recall encountering in a rose before. It's very good.

In Florida's hot, humid conditions, I find this to be a great improvement on many of the similar Austins. Vigorous but not too-big growth, and flowers frequently and heavily. The only downside is the lack of fragrance. But it's a great rose.

Im skeptical of the parentage. Its not a sport of Climbing America? Maybe? I see whats listed on the web catalog, but I feel like its really incorrect. That color, even from a sport, does not seem possible from that lineage.

Parentage changed to 'America' (JAClam) 1975. That better?

Sorry, I'm just now seeing this, but yes, the rose is definitely a sport of America ('JACclam') 1976. I saw the original plant in Dr. Rubert Prevatt's garden in the early 1980s, on which the sport occurred.

Dr. Rubert W. Prevatt. Notice the correct spelling of his first name -- "Rubert" not "Rupert."
