Registration name: TUCkmarie
Exhibition name: Dolores Marie

Bred by Robbie Tucker (United States, 2001).
Introduced in United States by Justice Miniature Roses Archive in 2001 as 'Dolores Marie'.

Mini-Flora.  

Mauve or purple blend.  Strong fragrance.  Average diameter 3".  Medium, very full (41+ petals), borne mostly solitary, exhibition, high-centered, old-fashioned bloom form.  Blooms in flushes throughout the season.  

Medium, upright.  Medium, matte, medium green foliage.  

Height: up to 18" (up to 45cm).  

USDA zone 6b and warmer.  Can be used for beds and borders, container rose, cut flower, exhibition or garden.  Remove spent blooms to encourage re-bloom.  Spring Pruning: Remove old canes and dead or diseased wood and cut back canes that cross. In warmer climates, cut back the remaining canes by about one-third. In colder areas, you'll probably find you'll have to prune a little more than that.  

Jerry Justice said 'Dolores Marie' is as fragrant as 'Scentsational' with an extra row of petals.
