Your support of HelpMeFind is urgently needed. HelpMeFind, like all websites, needs funding to survive. We have set a premium-membership yearly subscription amount as low as possible to make user-community funding viable.
We are grateful to the many members who have signed up so far, but the number of premium-membership members remains too small for us to sustain the current support and development level. If you value HelpMeFind and want to see it continue we need your support too.
Yearly membership is only $2.00 per month and adds a host of additional features, and numerous planned enhancements, to take full advantage of the power and convenience of HelpMeFind. Click here to start your premium membership..
We of course also welcome donations of any amount. Click here to make a donation. Donations of $24 or more receive a thank-you gift of a 1-year premium membership.
As far as we have come, we feel HelpMeFind is still in its infancy. With your support we have so much more to accomplish.

Every time I walk out to view my garden and see this rose, my first thought is, "wow, what is that! "? And then I remember. It is a stunning garden rose.

As with most roses it depends on the weather and factors I don't always under, but I would agree that in general it has a strong fragrance.

I found this rose takes a lot more "baby sitting" in my area where spring can be cool and damp for a long time( then what is advertized by J&P). -- (blackspot problems). If you can get it healthy enough to grow well, the effort is worth it because it makes a" just plain beautiful" container plant for the deck. + the fragrance is great too.

I purchased OUTRAGEOUS from J&P 4 years ago, I love this bush, since that time my garden has grown to over roses, but i still found a spot for a second one. My first bush had survived a grub attack,rabbits, and harsh weather. It took a lickin and keep on tickin! I moved it to another spot(it wasnt to happy about that), so for last season it really didnt bloom that much, this season it looks great,both bushes a very happy healthy and full of buds. The bloom is similar to a peonies, my neighbor thought they were peonies. strong scent. I spray this roses weekly, it does gets black spot, but it never takes the whole bush, it is resistant to powdery mildew. my roses are in a rock gardens so i donot mulch for winter, and the bush comes through the winter with little dieback, this bush is hardy to zone 6. makes a lovely addition to your garden.

Well, I have to eat my words that I have previously posted about the disappointment that Outrageous was to me. I finally shovel pruned that first bush of Outrageous as it just never grew and bloomed worth a darned.
I got another bush from Edmund's this year and it has been a complete turnaround from the experience I had with the first one. This new bush is vigorous, healthy, and is blooming it's head off. The blooms are very large and gorgeous color and the fragrance is wonderful. I am so glad that I gave this rose a second chance as it makes a wonderful addition to my bed of orange floribunda's that already has Chihuly, Marmalade Skies, Tuscan Sun, Disneyland Rose, etc...
It not only fits right in, it is a standout that visitors to my garden seems to be attracted to.
This experience really shows that you cannot judge a rose by just having one of them. Sometimes you just get a "dud" bush that doesn't do well while in reality the rose is a very good one most of the time.

Oh, gosh, I'm so delighted you tried another bush! Mine seems to get even better every year, still my absolute favorite.
