I've ordered from Burling at least ten times. Excellent selection, service and prices. She's come up with at least 6 or 7 roses that I've been looking for for years and nobody else had

If only that were true, but considering the current state of things, perhaps it's just as well it's not.

That's too bad because it's been used a lot by breeders.

Including you, I see, Robert. Did you use it enough to develop a breeder’s impression?

I used it a couple of seasons , then let it go, but I still have lots of descendants.
It can produce fragrance in offspring. It's fertile both ways but a little easier for pollen.
Knowing what I know now, and having better options, I would have skipped it entirely.

Just cut my first blooms from Sweet Chariot which was planted in the ground spring 2023. Very fragrant and gorgeous cerise color. As recommended I need to fertilize. Also this plant is in partial shade unfortunately. Will see how it progress es this year.

I have two Sweet Chariots that in the last eight years have moved from pots into the ground, and then I relocated them once more this spring when I moved around some other shrubs and roses in a long-planned update of the plantings my front and back yards. It is a great rose with a tidy mounded habit. I love how very tiny the foliage is.

Yes, I remember when it first came out. It crated quite a sensation. It used to be marketed in hanging baskets which makes it easier to appreciate the fragrance.
