Hmmm, only a little bit of fragrance on this one here. Anytime they name something "Parfuma," I expect better. Marketing!

Agreed ... nice rose, but it's like the perfume didn't make it through customs.

A lot of people in China commend SC for its strong fragrance and remontancy.
But strangely enough, though my SC has given me 3 flushes during spring(truly remontant), non of them seems to have "strong fragrance", only very mild smell....
Even troubles me more is that both the plants I and my mom grow(which are in different zones in China) died in the summer time, is SC not heat-tolerant?

I live in Atlanta GA. I bought this rose from High Country Roses. It looks like the photos during spring. Mid summer it loses its leaves, presumably to disease. I don't smell a damask scent. Mine is light and peppery. I sometimes wonder if mine is actually Sweet Chariot. It does seem vigorous for a mini rose.

Yellow, as with lavender/lilac/mauve, still as of 2016 has yet to be perfected in the modern rose. SUNSPRITE the Floribunda from 1973 is about as high on that "mountain" as any creator has gone. At least in my humble opinion. Yet this one, released over 50 years ago, is pretty good! As is Summer Sunshine which ALSO was released in 1962. Midas Touch is deeper in tone, Oregold is more of a peer and does not even compare! Radiant Perfume is a joke, a few others such as Sunshine Daydream may be lustier in growth......St. Patrick is solid...... but in 54 years? Yellow has not come even as far as lavender/lilac/mauve has. King's Ransom would have been an AARS candidate even released 30 years later. By far the most deep yellow and most reliable yellow for years. A great rose, actually.

I can always count on you for a solid review! I have Kings Ransom, and it's pretty good. That being said, I've yet to find a yellow I'm totally in love with. Gold Glow comes close, but it has its drawbacks. Midas Touch is very vibrant, but it needs a few more petals. I have NEVER gotten a Sunsprite to grow correctly and I'm on plant number 3...all of which have been sad turds. Gold Medal is easy to grow everywhere I've lived, but it lacks some personality and the blooms turn that nasty white with pink speckles and hang on too long in that ghastly state. St. Patrick was much the same way for me, and I just wasn't a fan...it felt very "flat".

Tantau rates it as 5-star in fragrance, but according to a lot of rose growers I met, it have little fragrance, which doubts me...

May be time of day or conditions?
I mean Dagmar Hastrup is apparently a strong clove...which is sort of true for maybe an hour in the morning then it's basically no fragrance here. Rise N Shine is listed as strong fragrance...I've smelt nothing from it over several years of growing it.

I smell "Chippendale" in different occassions, nurseries, gardens, exhibitions, but I never get a "strong" smell....
the same applies to "Augusta Luisse", which is also claimed to be very fragrant one.
It's so tricky....because I can get the fragrance from other ones like "double delight",“golden celebration”,“fragrant cloud” ,"eclair" everytime I met them....
