Good morning,

Are your Étoile de mai fragrant ?
Mine from the Rogue Valley nursery is not.
Thank you for your answers.

Mine is very fragrant. A citrusy sweet scent that is quite enjoyable and is best appreciated on a newly opened blossom.

Hello Caduceus,
Thank you for your answer.
Where does your plant come from ?
Is it possible for you to post a photo of your plant that I could compare with mine ?
Thank you.

Mine came from Rose Petals Nursery in Florida.
I'll post a photo when the buds on my plant open. Please expect the photo within the next 3 weeks.

Thanks for your quick reply.
I'm eager to watch your pictures. Mine is similar to Terry's one. Like a creamy Perle d'or. Non stop blooming. My plant comes from The Rogue Valley nursery. It is not avalable in commerce in Europe.

My bud opened sooner than I expected. I just posted a photo on HMF for your viewing pleasure.

Good evening,

It seems be similar to mine. Perfect. Thank you very much. I wish you have the same pleasure than mine cultivating this lovely rose.
The only drawback that I have noticed: In my cool Brittany it often proliferates.
Bye.

I bought it from the rogue valley nursery but the plant was so old and so small that it didn't survive inspite of a lot of care. I am very disappointed. I invested a lot of money to have it in France again.
A great dream which remains a dream.

It's a shame that it is not available in Europe. It's a french rose ! Any news about an european retailer ?
