'Parade Day ™' rose Reviews & Comments

Some of mine had mauve tones in the light pink this week. Look kind of cool/eerie.
Definitely hates heat, like New Zealand does. Turned to crispy critters yesterday. It's on Year 2.5, so we'll see if it hates heat at full maturity when the roots are even more mature.

My Parade Day rose was doing great----until the weather turned hot. It's leaves crisped and turned brown and fell off the flowers crisped----It definatly does not like heat coupled with direct sun. I may try it in filtered sun. It may be that I can't grow it here where we get many days above 100 degrees.

Mine got better by the summer flush. I think the root system needs to be very mature to compensate. I'm going to give it one more year, because it is improving every season.
It's otherwise a very nice rose, and the light pink take on silvery mauve tones in the spring flush.
Edit: Went to smell Parade Day yesterday, now that the blooms are not crispy -- no scent! So it went from amazing scent to none. I am guessing that once it adjust and grows out its roots, it can produce blooms that do no fry if the buds are developed in high heat (it was 94-100F for 2 weeks) by not producing fragrance oils. Maybe those oils require an abundance of air humidity to develop intense fragrance? Not sure.
